Some people seem tobe anchored inthe

considerably ohagrined at the announce

to 60 into the larlor with her bonnet on

c BY AMMONIA.
The Terrible Agony Does not
Prevent It's Use.

No poison brings death with more
maddening agony than ammonia, Rat
that fact does not seem to discourage
the suicide. The man IIarrowitz, who
deliberately swallowed a fatal dose OF
the drug in New York recently, Is only
one OF the many who have. gone the am
monia route to death in spite Of the ex-
eruciating pain. DIR. Blythe has re-
corded thirty cases of ammonia poison
ing IN the small London district of which
he is health officer. Prof. Mitchell
mentions twenty-five cases, and four
have occurred during the short time DR..
jenkins has been connected with the
c%oroner's office in New York.
Gases of slow poisoning from ann
monla are of constant occurrence among
men who work in Its manufacture, or
even in decomposing substances which
give 1t off In considerable quantities.
Ammonia, slowly and from day to day
taken into the system, causes the COM
plcxion to lose its freshness, and the skin
of men who get heavily i~mpregnated
with it has a disagreeable blotched and
discolored appearance.
Taken into the stomach from day to
day In even the small quantities used TO
adulteratc food, such as baking powder,
it not only Injuries the complexion but
attacks the lining of the stomach, and is
the ource of much general i'll health.
The recent rapid increase in the use Of
ammonia for various purposes, and the
consequent increase in its manufacture,
have made it one of the most easily OBJ
tanned poisons and, although everybody
is familiar with it in some form, there is
a surprising amount Of Ignorance of its
dangerous qualities. Its use as an adul-
terane in any food preparation is simply
a crime and as a crime should be pun
ished.

PROTECT oUR BREAD.

The machinery of the law has not been put to work
too speedily against the fraudulent use of ammonia and

the people are demanding protection. The legislatures Of

of adulteration up, and especially that of Baking Powders.

is made a misdemeanof in every State in the UNION, and
