teratlon Is probably u coal tar color; IL this

harmless.
Dissolve some Of the candy In a clear tum-
bier of water. Hold this in the sunlight and

III II looks yellow green "a seen against the
black, and yellow when held 10 tho light, il

detect the presence of prussic acid, fusel oil
oil OF vitriol, wood alcohol and rancid but
ter, al Of which, with some other ingredi
snts, are sometimes used to give pleasant
flavor TO the candy. But il the candy wa,
bought from a reputable first class dealer
