Discoveries of much Importance on account
of the relation they bear toward more whole
some food supply and consequently upon the
public health, have been recently made in the
process of refining cream of tartar. Cream OF
tartar, as Is we'll known, is bitratrate of po-
tassa purified from the crude tartar, or argol,
which collects in crystalline deposit upon the
bottom and sides of wine casks during the
fermentation of the wine. This tartar, in its
crude state, contains lime and other impure
ties, which no process of refining known prior
to that here described was able to entirely re-
move. 1t has been possible, it is true, to neu-
tralizs the lime to some extent By the aid OF
chemicals, and this method was resorted to in
order to procure cream of tartar In small guam
titles for pharmaceutical purposes; but 1t was
open to serious objection in view of the fact
