UNwHoLEsoME FOOD.-By the unnatu-
raj combinations of different articles by ig-
norant persons for baking powders, (even
if articles are pure) they render the food
very indigestiblc, as the chemical action,
when they enter the stomach, prevents
their being digested. OF these mixtures
it requires but small quantity to make
food very unwholesome. Dr. Price Cream
Baking Powder is the only powder prepar-
ed by the application of scientific princi-
pies, combining all the elements of a per-
feet powder, thus making it safe, econom-
ical, and nutritious, and only to be equalled

could be saved, not even the books and pa

we received the following communication,
which gives an idea of the extent of the
loss sustained:
