FRIDAY-EVENING,..
| the public has never hears of, have
appeared in almost all the courts of
the country for and against the
j merits and demerits of sulphurous
! acid.
It is time indeed that the laity
should have some knowledge of what
is going on.
The beautiful Sultana raisin, grown
in California, and marketed under a
name which conveys the idea that it
comes all the way from Turkey, is
part of a scheme of fraud which the
; average housewife never suspects.
This beautiful blond fruit contains
| sulphurous acid. For years all efforts
i to reform the methods of preparation,
whereby the wholesome little brun
ette of the preserved grape family
i is forced to appear under false colors,
have been defeated by .the food so
ph isticators.
j The dried frut men openly refer,
when speaking to themselves, to a
phenomenon which th'ey admit to be
real.
They say that beetles, ants, flies,
ajid birds will starve to death rather
; than eat bleached, dried fruit- con
i taining sulphurous acid.
If the instincts and habits of the
j lower animals, which prompt them to
avoid certain foods, had no meaning
i for human intelligence, we would not
now have our modern system of med
| Ication.
i Notwithstanding this fact the lay
| man never asks how it is that the
| masquerading Sultana raisin acquires
! its golden hue.
1 The housewife never asks why iti
is that the flavor of the masquerad-
ing Sultana raisin is so inferior to the
flavor of the natural, unbleached
raisin.
For years men prominently identi
fied with the dried fruit industry
have declared that if they were com
pelled by law to abandon their cus
tom of bleaching dried apples, dried
pears, dried peaches, dried apricots,
and dried Sultana raisins with sul
phurous acid they would be put to an
expense that would destroy their
business.
Dried fruit brokers have told me
with great pathos that without the
use of sulphurous acid the bleached
dried fruit industry would be obliged
to erect new buildings, install new
machinery and take greater care in
protecting their products from the
appetites of birds and insects.
For six years the Remsen Rel'eree
Board, to which the sulphurous acid
question was referred for a decision,
kept fiuiet, while, in the meantime,
the harvest of sulphured fruits has
increased enormously.
In 1909 California alone produced
20,000 tons of dried peaches treated
with sulphurous acid.
In I 4 this quantity had increased
to 3 2.Q00 tons. The traffic in dried
apricots and evaporated apples treat
ed with sulphurous acid increased
accordingly.
Six years is a long time in which
to determine whether a poison is a
poison, particularly if during the
meantime the public, without its
knowledge, is obliged to eat the prod
uct over which there is so much ar
gument.
In the meantime California has
been able to say to the United States
Government, "Hands off." Through
her influence at Washington she was
able to keep the Referee Board silent
for six years.
Dr. Harvey W. Wiley made a bitter
(?ght against the use of sulphurous
acid In all foods. What happened to
the greatest food crusader of all
times is now only too well known.
Yet, while the Referee Board was
HAJtRISBURG TELEGRAPH
brooding over the wholesomeness or |
unwholesomeness of sulphurous acid;
as an Ingredient of commercial food
stuffs, Dr. J. C. Olsen, professor of
chemistry in the Brooklyn Polytech
nic Institute, established to his own
satisfaction the harmfulness of sul
phurous acid when introduced into
the food of animals.
In 1911 Dr. Olsen issued a statement
which was given wide publicity
throughout the newspapers of the
country.
These were his words:
"Sulphurous acid kills people by the
slow route. It prolongs their agony
longer than would be the case if they
were shot or stabbed. There is no
doubt of that. But whether you de
scribe the effects that follow its use
as murder or not depends perhaps
upon how much stock you own in the
food industry that uses the drug.
"I have put sulphurous acid in the
food of dogs and watched them
closely for months. At first they
actually appeared to fatten on the
diet. Any casual observer would
have been led by this phenomenon to
pronounce sulphurous acid a whole
some ingredient of food.
"At the end of six months we
chloroformed the animals and made
post-mortem examinations upon them.
All their organs appeared sound and
healthy. The acid apparently had not
harmed them as far as the naked eye
was concerned.
"Before a jury, with only the sur
face evidence by which to be guided,
sulphurous acid would have been
whitewashed.
"However, we went farther than a
mere post-mortem. We put the dogs'
kidneys under the microscope. In
every case the results were the same.
The kidneys had begun to break
down. The lens revealed the degen
eration of the cells. For this reason
I look upon sulphurous acid as dead
ly."
Dr. Olsen did not profess to know
anything about the conduct of sul
phurous acid in the body of a human
being. He knew only what happened
] to the unfortunate dogs on which he
had experimented, but there his
knowledge stopped.
Children were eating dried fruits
bleached with sulphurous acid In
every State of the Union. Children
have been eating this fruit for six
years, during which the Referee Board
has spent the nation's money in
silence.
Throughout all these years all
American children in wnose diet
bleached dried fruits has appeared
were in the sulphurous acid poison
squad whether their parents knew it
or not.
On April 21, 1913, I sugested to the
Health Department of New York
City, which has unlimited powers,
that it should take twenty orphan
children ranging in age from five to
ten years and feed them daily with
the same kind of bleached dried
peaches which twenty million other
children of the same age in the
United States are asked to eat and
are permitted to eat without shock
! or objection on the part of their
i parents or guardians.
I suggested that If at the end of one
year these twenty unfortunate chil
dren should be found to be peculiarly
anaemic the Department of Health
would find some justification for exer
cising its vast powers In the dis
couragement of the sulphurous acid
Industry and would doubtlessly be ab
solved of all charges of cruelty' cfr
barbarism in making the experiment.
The criticisms that were showered
upon me for making this "inhuman"
suggestion indicated then that the
timid souls who stand by and say
nothing while millions of women and
children are exposed to the use of a
chemically treated food which is at
least in the doubtful class, became
exceedingly indignant, forceful, and
even militant when a generalized
condition tolerated on a vast scale Is

can be seen, weighed, measured, and
felt.
We shall now see what actual justi
fication then existed and what justi
fication still exists for taking this
bleached fruit industry in hand.
Such an easy way
to heal my skin!
" I never worry if I have a little
rash or other eruption break out—
I just put on a bit of
Resinol
Ointment. That takes out the itch
ing and burning instantly, and soon
clears the trouble away. I learned of
Resinol Ointment through our doc
tor prescribing it for my brother.
Tom had been almost frantic with
eczema for months but that ointment
healed his skin like magic."
