!. And just here We ask the reader to note
the fact that thus far in this controversy
only chemists have been called upon for
opinions on . question involving practical
medicine and. hygiene. Not one of the
many eminent physicians Of this city, so far
Is We can ascertain, has been consulted or
hislviews sought for on q question that he,
as an educated, intelligent, practical observ
er, aided BY the light of chemistry .physiolo.
~ and therapeutics, should have been call.

And nov We again repeat for the serious
consideration. of consumers the practical
medical opinion, tia; the continued use of
sugars containing authorizations of gluclose
and muriate Of tin villsooner or later induce
morbi6c action Of the Abdominal organs aud
Of the nervous system. We are aware that
certain guilty %ryfners, supported by the
opinions Of professors Of chemistry, who
know nothing of practical medicine, boldly
assert that the very small percentage Of
either of these adul terations uAd in the
manufacture Of sugars cannot possibly work
injury to the human system. And just here
We contend, and we believe the medical pro.
fesaion and chemists generally will sustain
us, that only pure raw or refneff sugars are

percentage Of the Aforesaid authorizations,
especially the muriate Of tin. will affect the
nutricious quality of cane sugar. 1t is an
established fact in Therapeutics, we'll under

physician, that certain veeet.ble and min.
eral substances, when used a. remedial
a9ents,and in small doses, are cumulative in
their effects, consequently great caution mus
necessarily be observed in Use, othervita
serious results may, and not u%nfrequently Dc

chemist will tell US that muriate of tin only

the muriate of tin lie there. How can yor
prove it, they say? Well, you spotless spec

Is not the muria;e of tin a salt? Is it not
soluble? And does not its ~soluability enable
you to use it as a bleached and mordant?
And il this,is admitted, please tell rs how
you retain the bleaching power of the chic

generally, when you purchase table sugar,
aviod sugars thus marked, for they contain
q large percentage of glucose which robs
you of nutritian, and they are bleached with
muriate Of tin, which is poisonous! Nrbim
