"Under what conditions then does
this substance-fOrmerly used only for
mechanical and medicinal purposes
become poisonous? They are certain
obscure, and at present we can only sur
mise what they may be. We suspect
that the cause exists in the individual
poisoned; some popularity OF the con-
stitution producing a morbid change III
the secretlons OF the stomach, with
which the alum combines and forms an
active poison; or the secretions may be
healthy but in unusual proportions,
and that these less or greater proper
tons in combination with the alum con-
stitute a poison"

and two parts OF chlorine form calomel,
which is not poisonous, but change the
proportions to one part mercury and
two parts OF chlorine, and we get corro-
sive sublimate, which is Il deadly poison.

Foods that are wholesome to some per-
sons are actually poisonous to Others,
This is especially true OF some kinds OF
fish. There is no safety in taking alum
INTO the stomach, as it Is shown to be
always injurious, and often danger
