II regard Horsford's Baking Powder as
healthful and nutritious, being composed of
phosphate acid and bi-carbonate of soda.
The excellence of this combination is 30
universally commended BY physicians and
chemists that my Endorsement is simply
superauous.. Iwould say, however, that acid
portant as a constituent of food than as q
remedial agent. Bread. made from unbolted
or Graham -four Is more healthful than that
made from refined -four, simply because the
latter has been deprived Of the nutritious
phosphates. Horsford's Baking Powder
restores to the -four the phosphates removed
in the bolting process, and increases the food
Acid phosphate aids digestion, and nourishes
and invigorates the brain and nervus system,
and Prof. Horsfords method Of supplying it
with our daily bread is certainly wonderful
triumph of scientific genius" mo y
