A Couple of llOOMS.
If we may believe the statements of those
who are in a position to know, the human
race will doubtless, in the future, get its
food and drink, its sustenance and stimulus,
from an article that has been not generally
esteemed at its true worth. It will be a very
excellent thing too, in many respects, if am
monia does what is claimed for it. The
Scientific American publishes the statement
that common ammonia can be properly put
to use as a leavening agent. The carbonate
of ammonia is an exceedingly volatile sub
stance. Place a small portion of it upon a
knife and hold it over a flame, and it will
almost immediately be entirely developed
into gas and pass off into the air. The gas
thus formed is a simple composition of ni
trogen and hydrogen. No residue is left
from the ammonia. This gives it its supe
riority as a leavening power over soda and
cream of tartar when used alone, and has
induced its use as a supplement to these ar
ticles. A small quantity of ammonia in the
dough is effective in producing bread that
wilf be lighter, sweeter, and more whole
some than that risen by any other leavening
agent. When it is acted upon by the heat of
baking, the leavening gas that raises the
dough is liberated. In this act it uses itself
up, as it were; the ammonia is entirely dif
fused, leaving no trace or residuum what
ever. The light, fluffy, flaky appearance, so
desirable in biscuits, etc., and so sought af
ter by professional cooks, is said to be im
parted to them only by the use of this agent.
The bakers and baking powder manufactur
ers producing the Anest goods have been
quick to avail themselves of tills useful dis
covery, and the handsomest and best bread
and cake are now largely raised by the aid
of ammonia, combined, of course, with
other leavening material. If the use of the
salt becomes general in the preparation of our
daily food, dyspeptics will hail its discovery
as a boon. It is the practice, almost gen
erally among physicians, to prescribe whisky
as a stimulus to persons whose powers are
waning, and in times of crisis. A case is
is reported in a recent number of the Boston
Medical and Surgical Journal, where a woman
was given whisky in repeated doses, but she
gained no strength. The physicians were
perplexed, and each moment was critical.
At length one-sixteenth of an ounce of liquor
ammonia was injected into a vein of one of
* her arms. The effect was plainly percept!
ble in a few seconds. The pulse, which, un
der the whisky treatment, had become so
feeble that it could scarcely be discovered,
could be felt at the wrist. The patient con
tinued to improve and eventually recovered.
Whisky is given for cold, for heat, for rest
lessness, for everything, or a few grains of
some medicine in a pint of whisky, are the
remedy, and then more whisky. The fact
that a quarter of an ounce of carbonate of
ammonia dissolved in a pint of distilled
water, an ounce of honey or loaf-sugar added
and the whole thoroughly dissolved, taken
in doses of from 30 to 40 drops for a child,
up to a tablespoonful for a man or woman,
will furnish positive stimulant of the most
healthful kind to a deranged system, to the
extent of many times that of the best wine
or brandy, without any of the effects which
invariably follow that of alcoholic mediums,
is not generally practiced by our physicians;
in fact it is an old matter, and so simple that
it has not always recommended itself to the
M. D.’s, for with many of them, to depart
from their books, is to depart from all right.
In view of the facts stated and the woman’s
experience, the human family may be said
to be in possession of another boon, the
treasure in each case—food and drink—be'
ing furnished by a very humble cumberer
of the drugman’s shelf.
