DO you Know you are E0tfnH ALUM?
Reports based on actual computation
show that over half of the baking powder
used contains the corrosive astrineent
alum in the place of the healthful grape
cream of tartar. All scheme and gift
goods contain it, and so do all cheap
brands. It costs three cents pound on
an average to manufacture it, and retails
at from twenty to fifty cents pound. Is
your stomach so strong that you can
afford to use a compound of sulphuric
acid, alumen and ammonia in your daily
bread? To detect alum in baking pow
ders, mix little of the suspected brand
with a small quantity of water, and boil
if you obtain strong fumes of ammonia
avoid It as you would the plague, for its
use produces the worst forms of dys-
pepsla.
