Pastry without Butter.

The American pie has been subjected to
more unjust abuse from foreign writer's than
any other of our distinctive products, if we
except the recent TRADE against the Ameri-
can hog. And yet we cannot say that it has
been altogether undeserved, because of the
villainous compound. thick, hard, and heavy,
that is too often made to do duty as a
''crust," and which bv courtesy is callad
pastry" Light, tender, flaky, snd digestible
pie-crust and all kinds of pastry can be made
most readily by the Royal Baking Powder
without any butter, or with half the usual
portion, if preferred, or with a small quanti-
ty of lard or other shortening as desired.
Pie crust thus made is much more whole
some and digestible, besides being more
economical and easier prepared. In addi-
ton to saving all the butter, if desired. one
third the flour is also dispensed with, as the
crust is rolled that much thinner, the leaven-
ing qualities of the Royal Baking Powder
swelling it to the requisite thickness. If
drippings or lard be used the Royal Baking
Powder removes any unpleasant taste, rem
dering the crust as short, sweet and pleasant
as if made from the finest butter. Those who
know the appetizing qualities of the genuine
homemade American pie will rejoice that by
the aid of Royal Baking Powder in the pas
try it can be made quite as digestibe as it is
delicious

Cure Of Asthma and spinal Weakness.
239 WEST 22p STREET,


New YORK, May IL, 1888.
Though it may be irregular for a physi-
clan to give a certificate in favor of a propri-
etary mdiciue, still in the cause of humanity,
| venture to say a word in favor of Allcock' 8
Porous Plasters, which / esteem the most
remarkable external remedy of this century
| have known these Plasters to cure Spinal
Weakness where the patient had been con-
fined for months to his bed. A blacksmith
of nv acquaintance was severely injured in
the back by the kick of a horse; four ALI
cocks Porous Plaster quickly relieved him
of excruciating agony and cured him in a
week Another patient, suffering with Neu-
ralgia of the Heart, was completely cured in
four hours
In Asthma, l know of a case where they
we're worn for three months and fully re-
stored the health. In another case where a
patient had Sporadic Cholera, nothing re-
lieved him until he put on three Allcock's
Porous Plasters; in twelve hours all pains in
his chest and stomach disappeared. / know
that these Plasters, applied on the pit of the
stomach. are a sovereign remedy for Dyspep-
sia and Constipation.
Finally, if persons once use Allcock's
Porous Plasters they will never use any
other; they are so pleasant, quick and pain
