Itis a cream of tartar powder of high degree of merit, and does not contain either aluin OF phosphates, or other injurious substances, E. G. Love, Ph.D.” “It is a scientific fact that the Royal Baking Powder is absolutely pure. “iH. A. Morr, Ph.D.” “Thave examined a package of Royal Baking Powder, purchased by myself im the market. I find it entirely free from alum, terra alba, or any other injurious sub- stance. Hr Montos, Ph.D., President of Stevens Institute of Technology.” “Thave analyzed a package of Royal Baking Powder. The materials of which it is composed are pure and wholesome. 8. Dana Haves, State Assayer, Mass.” The Baking Powder received the highest award over all competitors at the Vienna World’s Exposition, 1873 ; at tue Centennial, Philadelphia, 1676; at the American Institute, New York, and at Stute Fairs throughout the country. No other article of human food has ever received such high, emphati Yersal endorsement from Health all over the world. Nore—The above Dracraw illustrates the comparative worth of various Baking Powders, as shown by Chemical Analysis aud experiments made by Prof. Schedier. A pound can of each powder was taken, the total leavening power or volume ii each can calculated, the result being as indicated. This practical test for worth by Prof. Schedler only proves what every observant consumer of the Royal Baking Powder knows by practical experience, that, while it costs a few cents per pound more than ordinary kinds, it is far more economical, and, besides, affords the advaut- age of better work. A siugle trial of the Royal Bakiag Powder will convince any fair minded person of these facts. * While the diagram shows some of the alum powders to be of a higher degree of strength than other powders ranked below them, it fs not to be taken as indicat- that they have any value. All alum powders, no matter how their strength, tos be avoided as dangerous. = - and uni- eminent chemists, physicians, scientists, and Boards of CITY ITEMS.
