ALUM BAKING POWDER.
some, and Its Sale In Violation of
the Pure Food Laws.

A case in the courts of Davenport,
Iowa, the other day appears to have
fixed the status of the alum baking
powders as an Illicit article of trade.
1t seems that The Pure Food Co.,
of Chicago, sold to firm of grocers in
Davenport a quantity of baking pow
der called Pure Food Baking Pow
der" The grocers sold some of it.,
ascertained that it was an alum pow
der, returned the powder unsold to
the manufacturers and refused to pay
for 1t. The manufacturers sued to col
leCt.
The case was tried before Judge
Bollinger and jury. Attorneys Neal
& Neal, and s. A. Finger defended the
grocers. 1t was shown that the pow
der contained alum. The defence
claimed, consequently, that it was in
furious to health and that traffic in
1t was against public policy. Expert
testimony was introduced to show that
alum when taken into the stomach
would influence the gastric juices to
the detriment of the person using it.
The jury rendered a verdict for the
defendants, which means that alum
baking powders are deleterious to
health, their sale illegal in the state.
The pure food laws of the state are
upheld.

eral Cassius M. Clay, notifying him that
his bank account at the State Bank g..
Trust company of this city had been at

New Medical Discovery.

DR.. Charles l.. Wllar, an Argentine
army surgeon, has just published re-
port of the treatment of so cases of
tuberculosis with his serum at the mil
itary hospital in New York city. The.
treatment extended from December 2.
1900, to April 20, 1901.
tuberculosis in the early stage, says.
Dr. Villar, was cured within 40 DAYS.
Patients whose cases were more ad--
vanced all were cured except those who,
could offer very little resistance to the.
disease.
DR.. Villar did not divulge the charac-
ter of his serum, but it is yellow fluid.
Hypodermic injections are made, vary
ing in quantity every second, third
fourth or fifth day, according to the
individual cases.
Argentine physicians have been in
vited to investigate the alleged cure
and the serum treatment.
DR.. George F. Shrady Of New York
city, in an interview published in the,
New York Herald commenting upon
the dispatch, said that the medical pro
fession did not place much confidence,
in TIE serum treatment of tuberculosis.
He said:
"The medical profession now holds
after centuries of experiments, that the,
proper treatment for tuberculosis is a.
change to dry, pure air. The impress
sion that men are not cured of con-
sumption is prevalent and an errone-
GUS one. There have been many thous-
ands of cures. The fact that DR.. Villar
does not give the formula Of his rem
edy would prejudice the medical pro
fession against it. A remedy designed
to benefit the human race should be as.
free as air and water"
