the functions of the stomach and liver.

In department we are gratlfed to notice
that
HOME INDUSTRY
was once more honored with the blue ribbon.
Mr.. Thos. Egan received for the second
time the blue ribbon for his yeast powders he
received it the first time at our State Fair In
1876. The brands of yeast powders then exhib-
tied for competition had to undergo chemi-
cal test and for that purpose were taken to the
well known reliable chemists and druggists,
Frederickson Il Harte, of Canal street. who
ga7e a certificate to the effect that Egan's
Excelsior Yeast Powder is the whtest, the
purest the strongest and best, being made Of
perfectly pure materials, has less inert mat
ter than either Of the other brands.
According to the rules laid wn by the
directors of the State Fair new held at the
competition was to be subjected to chemical
analysis. This Egan was not apprised of and
entered his yeast powder for competition,
hoping that some OF the many brands now
for sale in this city would be entered also, but
be was allowed to receive the prizes without
opposition. He Is the pioneer yeast powder
manufacturer OF New Orleans, having COM
menced making 1t In 1853, and since that time
had strong opposition to contend with, as
our market has been continually filled with
nhpan VpaGt n0w1pr SllnD those pynOGp6
lately by Northern chemists, being made
with alum instead OF cream tartar.
Our wholesale merchants, Of course, pur-
chased those cheap powders, not knowing how
they were made; now they are made aware |
how injurious alum is to the human system,
We hope to see honest home industry encour- |
aged Egan guarantees that his powders and
sef-raising fours shall not contain any ingre-
dent but what is pure.
Friend Egan has received the blue ribbons
also for his self-raising flour and self-raising |
ouckwheat. So we say success to home man
ufacture.
In Art Hall, on exhibition for competition,
are some beautiful specimens of
IMPROVED ARTIFICIAL LIMBS.
Many of our citizens, as we'll as visitors,
viii be glad to know that Mr.. Charles nj.
Evans, who has national reputation as an
expert in manufacturing improved artificial
limbs, Is at present among us. His display
O models at the Exposition Is interesting.
We know OF no mechanical continuance more
perfect or better adapted to its uses than the
limbs he manufactures. The perfection at
aned by him in this line and the wonderful
improvements made are almost incredible
The natural movement Of all the Joints. the
symmetrical proportions given, practical
utility and comfort, exceed anything we have
heretofore seen or heard Of 1t seems tut
little trouble for him to make a cripple walk,
dance, skate, or do anything others do with
Natural limbs. His testimonials and refer
ences are unlimited and reliable.
We learn that as young man Ia native of
our sister State, Mississippi he commenced
artificial limbs about twelve
years ago, and, unlike Others in his business.
has had not only an unbroken experience but
one Of practical personal application, being
constantly employed doing the important
portion of the work with his own hands, and
Is now in New Orleans giving personal atten-
ton to fitting limbs. He has large, establish
