Remarkable Contrast In the Efect of
Two POlsOns on the Complexion.
The slow absorption of many pOisons
changes in some more or less modified
form the complexion, but arsenic sod
ammonia show theii effect about as
quickly as any. The popular belief
that ars, Dic clears the complexion has

The effect Of ammonia upon the COM
plexIon are directly the opposite 10
that Of arsenic. The first symptom Of
ammonia poisoning which appears
among those who work In ammonia
factories is a discOloration Of the skin
ofthe nose aud forehead This grad

eornI lexion has y stained. blotched,
and unsightly appearance With peo-
pie who take ammonia into their sys-
tems In smaller doses. ~ with their
water or food, these striking symptoms
90 not appear 30 soon. The only
effect Of the poison that Is visible Tor q
time Is the general unwholesomeness
and sallowness Of complexion
Many people are slowly absorbing
ammonia poison without knowing It
The use Of ammonia in the mannfAe'
lures has greatly increased Of late and
Il Is unqnsstlonably used as an adulter
ant in certain food preparations
Onicial analysis have plainly showl
ils use even in such cheap articles o
every day consumption - bakiDi

Of ammonia IN even minute quantitie

not merely from ils effect upon IN
