food. BY the exclusive use of this chemic-
ally pure cresm of tartsr, the Royal Bak-
log Powder is produced entirely free from
lime. and absolutely pure, qusliti pos

from lime or other impurity must not only
cont ,in more strength or l-svening power
and produce better food, and therefore be
more economical for uss, but what is more
important, possess qualities OF superior
wholesome ness.
Chemists and pnysicians have looked
