POISONED SUGARS.

LAEH FonEsr, July 29.-From the most nu~
thentlc SOURCES Of information that we Gun OBJ
tain, II appears that tho crushed and cut sugars
differ from tho coffee, anl the so.callcd gtan-
u1atcd, inasmuch as they arc chiefly malo from
Southern cane. Two years ago the granulated
was made from tho samo materials, md refined
in the came way as this crushed, but the rcfncrs
have devised way Of partially drying the coffee
sugar by baking, go that now we have only
counterfeit article.
But, though tho crushed is rnado from cane,
1t Is by no means free from poison Since tho
rc{ners began 10 abandon tho uso OF blood In
refining, number Of different chemicals havo
been found as substitutes. They nro acetate Of
aluminn, acid phosphate Of aIumina, superplos-
phatc OF lime blsulphato Of lime, sulphnto OF
limo, and subacotate oi lead. It 10 said TINT
there Is far the most profit In using tho Inter,
Us the object can bo accomplished without my
wnsto Of tho sugar, aua with grcat saving OF
time. by the uso OF this agent tho same end
can be attained in one day which would require
number Of days by the use Of blood. We arc,
therefore, safo In supposlng that nearly ALL II not
all, the crushed sngars are refined With lead.
Possibly other chcmicnls may Re used 10 limited
extont, but their use cannot bo general. Our ro-
marks must therefore apply to This agent.
ftho reancrs completely ncutrallzc tho lead by
the su1phurous acid gas, as they profess to do,
then no objection could be rnale to thote sWgaes.
but they do not, as is crldcnt from the fact that
evory ttro that those who are subject to nervous
headaches and bleeding plies attempt to use 1t they
nre male to suffer. But We are not compelled to
rely wholly on tho Testimony Of lnyal!ds. Science
Alao bears witness against It, Tho United States
