Albert r. Ledoux, A M. Phi D.
OCTOBER 18TH, 1878.

capt. c. 3. benson, Secretary S'ate
agricultural Society.
DEAR SIR: In compliance with
the resolution of your Society,
doing me the honor to request a
copy of my address republication,
| beg to forward the same here
with.
| thank the Society through you
for this honor done me, and shall
hope that the few thoughts en-
bodied in my remarks before you
NAV be the means of awakening at
least some interest in the very I'M
portant subject of which l spoke.
Very respectfully yours,
A. r. LEDOUX.
M. President and Gentlemen Of
/ the agricultural Society,
A year ago l had the honor OF
occupying a few moments OF your
time. and chose for my SUBJECT
cone or two ways in which the
Chemist can help the Farmer 10
night / must plead the general i'm
portance of my subject as an ex-
cuse for again not talking about
field, farm, or fertilizer to an agrl-
cultural body.
In the universal, ceaseless combat
between life and death, growth and
decay, there are three powerful
agencies on the side of mar without
whose help no one can maintain
the unequal strife, they are Sleep,
Food and Medicine. Many learned
ones have written much of the ne
cessity, the absolute necessity OF
health.ul, regular sleep to keep the
whole wondrous mechanism OF
nerve and brain and muscle In the
full performance OF Its norma
functions. Poets have sung, since
ever songs began of'.Tired Natures
sweet restorer, balmy Sleep" On
the other hand, how much has
been said of food ! The proper
nourishment of brain and muscle
by diet suited to the needs of child
hood, youth and old age, has given
the direction to many careful IN
quiries by learned Societies. The
medical works are full of what to
eat and how to eat it ; and the art
of cooking the two hundred and
fifty one articles used as food by
man, is regarded in some countries
as by no means unworthy to rank
among the sciences. Next in i'm
portance to these two great conser-
vators of health and vigor in man
are unquestionably medicines, those
r~estoratives which, judiciously ad-
ministered, will give back lost
strength and enable us to hold our
own yet a little while in the strug-
gle for existence.
Sleep, food and medicine These
three. How precious yet how com
mon; how familiar to us all Alas
we Americans with our energetic
push and whirl and drive, pay less
attention to them than does The

SPAR" a white mineral, and ex-
porting it all over Europe under
the name Of artificial -four" and
the very white article used by con
fectioners in making tarts and
fancy cakes, is often found adulte-
rated with this artificial product
from 10 to 80 per cent. Heavy
spar Barites is also prepared for
like purposes in Tennessee and
other Of our States.
Note.--There is a mine, ship
ping dozens of carloads per week,

FL. F. & VI.
Who knows but that many of our
aches from eating tarts and "show
cakes in childhood were due to
some indigestible mineral.
The Imperial Commission in
Germany last year in reporting up
on the use of infusorial earth said:
the every fine dazzling white varie-
ties are shipped to England or
America to be used in adulterating
-four" So much for mineral adul-
terations. The vegetable kingdom
furnishes for a like purpose bean,
pea, and other cheaper iours, corn
meal, &C., &c. All these are the
manufacturers doings. The baker
and confectioner have tricks Of their
own, too numerous to mention, to
hide the taste of bad, cheap flour,
the most common being the addi-
ton Of alum or other chemicals.
An English chemist made analyses
of fifty-three (53) samples of bakers
bread, such as is sold to the poorer
classes in London, and in every
single loaf he detected the presence
Of alum, In some cases in large
quantities. Sulphate of copper,
(blue stone), and Sulphate Of Zinc,
Ito the extent of four per cent
have frequently been found In
bread, put there for the purpose of
preservation.
To improve the color ultrama-
rine is used, which changes the yell
low shade to a blush.
Picric Acid, a most powerful
poison, is often added to impart to
cakes the golden color which
should be produced by eggs.
TEA AND COFFEE.
The ingenuity of the Chinese is
taxed to adulterate teas before they
reach our shores. Many and vari-
Gus are the plants which furnish
"tea leaves" to the importer. These
deliberations are harmless, perhaps,
but many injurious practices are
resorted to. That fearful poison
"Paris Green" is often used to color
spent tea leaves a bright green,
while Copper salts and Chromate Of
Lead sometimes fulfill the same
purpose. The aromatic principles
are often extracted and their place
supplied by cheap drugs and per-
fumes.
1need not mention the very COM
mon practice of drying and recolor-
ing spent tea leaves. In all our
large cities the cooks in the hotels
save the tea grounds carefully and
sell them to the agents of the tea
r%enovators.
The manipulations Of coffee are
less dangerous; the most common
being burnt chickory, acorns, man
gel-wurtzel, peas, beans and in sew
eral cases in London-horrible to
relate-r0asted horse hcer. We
must not forget hat ubiquitous and
handy adulterant, common sand,
which here also plays It's role.
These articles are found in the
burnt, ground coffee, but the green
does not escape. Artificial coffee

SUGARS.
The adulteration of sugars IS
more readily detected in every day
life, and hence is less practlced.
We have all heard of the man who
sent his purchase back to the grocer
with the message that there was
mot quite enough sand IN 1t for
building purposes, but too much for
other uses" The "Make weights"
are SOMETIMES found however and
are sand, terra alba chalk, gyp-
sum and dextrine. These the
housewife a often detect by their
insolubility. The only color
change sought for in the r%efineries
is to alter the yellow-white to a
blue white, and the usual articles
used for this purpose are Indigo,
Prussian Blue and Ultramarine.
When we step from the refinery
to the shop Of the c%onfectioner we
are appalled, at the facts a little in
vestigation reveals. Here the dilu-
ents, the make weights, and the
coloring matters are often not mere
" unhealthy-they are poisonous
in the extreme. Here we find not
only weight and color to be looked
after by the max r but also taste

with a compound Of Arsenic and
Copper, favored with Nitro-ben
zole, the 5 called poisonous coil
of Mesbane," and containing fully
80 per cent. of Plaster of Paris.

which | bought at random yester-
day. l have given it a hasty in
vestigation and find its compost
ton is about as follows:
PER CENT.

Soapstone (talc) 80
Starch, coloring, fayoring

DR.. Thompson who analysed a
large number Of English confec-
tons found in one case not only
20 per cent Of gypsum, plpe-clay,
and impure starch, all cemented
together by zinc-white, but also a
host Of poisonous coloring matters.
Chrome yellow and paris green are
fully used to import their respec-
tive %colors. In a single sample
was once found no less than 16 per
cent of arsenic and O.3 per cent of
lead. The analine colors-almost
all poisonous-are very common in
candy-store, while cinnabar, red
lead, and opement lend their
deadly aid. No n sample Of
candy is often found SO charged
with poison as to render it imme-
diately fatal, but it is little by
little this poison ~accumulates in
the system, bringing to the un-
suspecting victim misery Or death.
Fathers, let me implore you to
avoid highly colored candies when
you wish to render your little ones
happy by gift. Let us protect
the children by proper legislation
from the damnable curse of poison
ed food and candies. What does
not the man deserve who gains
wealth at the expense Of the
health of children? 1t may be
that none of you have lost a little

There were no signs of ordinary

as the Adulteration Act, was under
