VOLUME g8, BAKING POWDER, PROF. BLANEY DOES NOT INDORSE THE PURI- TY OF THE FULL-WEIGHT POWDER, BUT DOES CERTIFY TO The Purity of Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder. Prof. Blanoy did not establish tho fact that it roquirod 18 ouncos of ¢ o puro quality of Baking Powdor” to fill ¢ what aro known as pound cansg;” on the contrary ho finds DR. PRICE'S CREAM BAKING POWDER to bo porfoctly puro, and that 16 ouncos of which will considorably moro than 1lll & can holding & pound of full-weight powdor; and ho also has found that 16 ounces of puro oroam of tartar and pure bicarbonato of soda, mixod in propor proportion for a porfeot Baking Powdor, would considerably moro than #ill such o oan, Tho makors of tho full-woight Baking Powdors admit that o Boking Powder, to be “ hoalthful” and ¢ relinble,” should bo mado from pure croam of tarter and pure bicarbonato of soda. Now, asg overy housowifo knows that ‘puro croam of tartar and pure bicarbonato of goda sro white in color, what plainor proof is wanted to ostablish tho fact that thoso articlos aro not used, than tho DIRTY DARK OOLOR of their woighty compound? Why do nat tho weighty-powdor mekers give tho public somo other than their own cortifieato of tho PURITY of their prop- aration? Is it bocause no roputablo chemist will indorso the PURITY of & powder so largoly diluted with flour and othor ADMIXTURES? As g Bnnp}o toss, drop somo of tho full-woight powder in water. All of tho flonting substandois flour and other adultorants, Flour has no value in a Baking Powder, and tho only roason for its use is to incroase the profits of tho manufacturers and swindle tho consumor., TWO TEASPOONFULS of Dr. Prico’s Croam Baking Powdoris sufllcient for a quart of flour, whilo &0 por aent moro, or THREE TEASPOONFULS, of the heavy powder is roquirod. Soo diroctions for uso, by each manufscturer, on their cans. Onoe can of Dr. Price’s Powdor is oqual to one and o half eans of tho full- woight powdor.
