is ALUM POISONOUS?
Whitens the Bakers Bread, but Plays
Havoc With the Stomach of
the Customer.

Alum is used 10y many bakers 10
whiten their bread, enabling them to
use an inferior flour, and it is also
employed as a cheap substitute for
cream of tartar in the manufacture of
baking powder Its use in bread and
baking powder is very detrimental to
health, producing dyspepsia and OBJ
stinate constipation, and under GER
tain conditions Of the human system
results in poisoning. What these
conditions are 50 far as each individ-
ual is concerned can only be surmised:
some peculiarity of the system pro-
ducing d morbid change in the secre-
tions of the stomach with which the
alum combines and forms an active
poison: or, the secretiOns may be
healthy but in abnormal proportions,
and these lesser or greater proportions
in combination with the alum cOnsti-
tute a poison just as two parts of
mercury and two parts chlorine form
calomel, which is not poisonous, while
one part of mercury and two parts Of
chlorine yield corrosive sublimate,
which is a most deadly poison.
