Johnstown Penn., Tribune. The poisoning of the Thomas family, of Thomas' .Mill, Somerset Co , four members of which were reported to have been made dangerously ill by Impure baking powder used in mixing buckwheat cakes, has been further in vestigated. The original can with the remainder of the baking powder left over after mixing the cakes was secured bv Dr. Critchflold, The powder had been bought at a neighboring country store and was one of the low priced brands. Dr. Oritohtield said the patients had the symptoms of alum poisoning. As the same kind of baking powder Is sold In many city groceries, as well as country stores, Dr.Crltchficld thought It important that a chemical cxamina* tion should be made to determine Its ingredients. He therefore transferred the pack-are of powder to Dr. Schill, of this city, for analysis. Dr. Sen ill's re port is as follows: I eortlfy that I have examined chemi cally tho -ample, of " * * baking powder forwarded to me by Dr.Crltch liold. The specimen contained alum. Dr. Francis Schill, Analyst. Alum is used in the manufacture of the lower priced baking powers. It Is a mineral poison, and for this reason tho sale of haking powers containing It is in many cities prohibited. New goods arriving daily at. 0. B. Simmons. For bargains go to O. B. Sim mins.
