Speaking of bakini? powder.", a peienlitin cxchiiiiffi' rxplnius that ' the various baking powders of commerce am employed to produce s>ii artificial evolution of ciirlyin dioxide, to support that produced in tin; doUL'b by the action of tin- yeast. The composition of baking powdcru varies considerably. It apjiears to be most convenient to produce the carbonic acrl by the notion of hydrochloric acid on sodium liicabonato since in this way salt, which is in any cuso necessary, is also formed. Another widely-uml iniitcial if ammonium carbonate. It has been hitherto assumed that this substance after aiding in making the dough rise was volatilised by the beat, of tho oven. Dr. Kudemaun has however, found tkat the ammonia w by no means all removed, but remaine more or less completely united with the "luten. This result was communicated To fie Association of Chemists assembled nt Washington in August, 1801, and nlthoHgh the presence of ammonia is not a source of danger for the consumer nearly all the chemists present agreed in discouraging the use of ammonium carbonato in baking powder.' It is a true saying that ' what the eye does not see the heart does not griove over,' but at the same, time it is quite as well that we fhould carefully avoid any articles used in tho preparation of food which arc not healthful. Looking at the enormous trade now done in baking powder, nsera should be careful to neleet a irood brand and keep to it. for it is on record that in the United States particularly nlrnnnnd other chemicals not at all suited to improve the delicate orgms of digestion are freely used. Whose fire good baking powders ? In settling this question, we must not be too much guided by puffy testimonials couched in very glowing terms, nor—although it is necessary now-a-dnys, in order to make any good preparation known, to advertise freely until such time as all possible consumers are practically acquainted with its value—rely too much on newspaper advertisements. Nowhere, perhaps, more bo than in tbo States is the baking powder advertising war raging fiercer. For instance, and to show the extent to which this rivalry exists, we note a reference to the subject in a recent number of the flit, Faint, and Drug Reporter. Tho Reporter merrily notes that in one paper the purest baking powder in the world is mado in Chicago, and the vilest of all ammoniacul poisons is dispensed in New York ; while in another organ, evidently subsidised by an opposition company, the verdict is reversed in a very decided manner. Do not, therefore, be altogether led away by flashy advertisements, tint test for yotirtiche/i. ' Indigestion doth make brutes of us all,' and many a deed, afterwards bitterly repented, has been committed when the mind was upset by food made with faulty, not to say injurious, materials.
