Letter by Philartus argues alum in bread is linked to stomach pains and child deaths. He urges tighter controls on adulterated food and calls for banning bakers from trade if they use alum. He notes a rise in infant mortality despite other reforms and links to alum’s effects on milk curdling and digestion.
