The Alum Heart.

Many people are suffering from some
form of heart disease who have no idea
of the cause of it.
Disturbances of the digestive organs
affect the hearts action. and therefore
foods which interfere with digestion pro-
mote troubles of this character.
Alum baking powders are a prolific
cause of heart troubles. The physiology
cal effect of burnt alum is to coagulate
the blood. This i~nterferes with its free
flow through the arteries and valves of
the heart. Physicians have ceased the
use of alum as a specific for children's
Group, because of its tendency from the
causes named to produce heart failure.
In presence of the overwhelming testi-
mony as to the danger from alum when
used in food, no one will knowingly use
an alum baking powder. Nevertheless
many such powders are used and the
public suffer in consequence. The seller
of these powders maybe unaware of their
true character or perhaps heedlessly dis
regards it for the greater profit there is
in them. The consumer must be on his
guard.
Where alum powders are not branded
as such, nor their sale prohibited by law,
it is better to avoid the use of any new or
doubtful powder until it has been anal
yzed. The purity of all powders may be
suspected if they are sold at a price lower
than the price of the best standard brands.
We know the Royal to be a frst-class
cream of tartar powder and if consumers
insist upon having that brand they will
then be sure of a pure, heathful article.
1t behooves every one to use %extraordi-
nary care in purchasing food supplies.
We do not hesitate to recommend the
Royal to all who r in doubt as to
the powder they have been using, as the
United States Government tests place
that brand at the head of all the tartrate
powders.
