UNDISPUTED MERIT.

The greatest success of the Royal Bak
ing Powder, is due to the extreme care
exercised by its manufacturers to makeit
entirely pure, uniform in quality, and of
the highest leavening power. All the
scientific knowledge, care and skill,
attained by twenty years practical
experience, are contributed toward this
end, and no pharmaceutical preparation
can be dispensed with greater accuracy,
precision and exactness. Every article
used is absolutely pure, A number of
chemists are employed to testthe strength
of each ingridient, SO that its exact power
and effect in combination with its CO..
ingredients, is definitely known. Nothing
is trusted to chance, and no person is
employed in the preparation of the ma
terials used or the manufacture of the
powder, who is not an expert in his par
ticular branch of the business. AS a
consequence, the Royal Baking Powder
is of the highest grade of excellence, al
ways pure, wholesome and uniform in
quality. Each box is exactly like every
other, and will retain its powers and pro
duce the same and the highest leavening
effect in any climate. at any time. The
Government Chemists. after having
analysed all the principal brands 10 the
market, in their reports placed the Royal
Baking Powder at the head of the list for
strength, purity, and wholesomeness, and
thousands of tests all over the country
have further demonstrated the fact that
its qualities are, in every respect, un-
rivaled.

THE BAKING POW
DERS.

Under the direction of the New York
Slate Board of Health, eighty-four differ
ent kinds of baking powders. embracing
all the brands that could be found for
sale in the State, were submitted to ex-
animation and analysis by Prof O. F.
Chandler, Member of the State Board
and President of the New York City
Board of Health, assisted by Prof. Edward
G. Love, the well-known United States
Government chemist.
The official report shows that a large
number of the powders examined were
found to contain alum or lime; many of
them 10 such an extent as 10 render them
seriously Objectionable for use in the pre-
paration of human food.
Alum was found in twenty-nin sam
pies. This drug is employed 10 baking
powders to cheaper their cost. The
presence of lime is attributed to the i'm
pure cream of tartar of commerce used in
their manufacture. Such cream of tar tar
was also analysed, and found to contain
lime and other impurities; in some sam

mot including the alum and phosphate
powders, which were long since discarded
as unsafe or inefficient by prudent house
keepers) are made from the impure cream
of tartar of commerce, and consequently
contain lime to corresponding extent.
The only baking powder yet found by
chemical analysis to be entirely free from
lime and absolutely pure is the Royal
This perfect purity results from the ex-
elusive use Of cream tartar specially

which totally remove the tartrate of lime

of this greater cost is used in no baking
