sor William j. Giles, Professor of
Chemistry of Columbia University,
which recently appeared in The Jour
nal the American Medical Association.
Professor Giles says that he has been
conducting experiments on the effects
of alum for about seven years, and
that he is convinced that the use OF
alum in food is dangerous. He finds
that when taken into the stomach it
is absorbed and carried to all parts
of the body by the blood, causing
harmful consequences, and that 1t
should be excluded from food His
experiments show that alum is a
strong poison and is injurious to both
plants and animals, that when bak
ing-powder containing alum is used in
making bread, alum in solution is lat
/ err found in the stomach of persons
eating the bread. He concludes thai
bread made with baking-powder con
tanning alum is liable to cause harm
to the stomach and digestion, espe
cially if used for long period of time
and particularly in people whose di
gestion is not vigorous or normal. III
says that the public should be givel
the benefit of any possible doubt II
this matter until it is shown withou
question that aluminized bread a
commonly used cannot possibly be II
furious to the health, not only G
those who are robust and who al
parently can stand anything, but e'
, pecially of those who are most SUI
ceptible to injury and disease.
A long series of experiments on an
mails showed that when fed foods col
tanning alum the alum was found
f the blood and did harm. AS a resu
! of his experiments he concludes Thu
{ the use of alum in any food should
f prohibited by law in the interest
