Cream of Tartar is a byproduct of the wine-making process; a crystal precipitate that forms during grape fermentation. Uses: Often used when beating egg whites to increase heat tolerance and is also found in baking powder

ALUM is an abbreviation of Aluminum Sulphate which is an astringent or antiseptic and should NOT be taken internally. It comes as a white crystalline powder and is similar to Potassium Sulphate used in fertilisers also medically as a laxative

Alum is one of the primary components of baking powder. To say that it's only used in medicine and fertilizer is EXTREMELY misleading.
