NUTRITIOUS BAKING POWDER.
BY Pref. Doremus, of Bellevue Medical
College, N. Y.

Elaborate experiments on the effect of the
residue left by cream tartar and other baking
powders on gastric digestion, showed that the
digestion Of albumen bygastric juice was
greatly retarded by the residue which would
be LETT in biscuit made by cream of tartar
baking powders. Besides retarding the d.
gestion of abumen it was observed that the
tartrate residue rendered the mass Liable to
fermentive changes.
That the phosphates can have any detri-
mental influence on either gastric or intesti-
nal digestion is improbable, since the juices
of the digestive organs contain these salts in
relatively large proportion. Indeed, at one
time, the acidity of the gastric juice
was considered by many to be due
to the presence of phosphorlc acid in comb.
nation. Practically the 'acid phosphate as
prepared by Prof. Horsford, has been found
to act with great benefit in some types of dys-
pepsia.
While there are many baking powder mix
lures of quite dissimilar composition, yet they
have essentially but one office, that of raising
bread. Their action may take place at the
time of kneading or subsequently,. They
may possess some advantage in regard to cost
or quantity to be used; in the residue if there
is any, being either smaller or less injurious
than some other; but in all cases save one,
the element of adding a nutritive character
to the bread is entirely lacking.
Unless phosphate form one of the ingre-
dents of a baking powder there is no residue
lett of nutritive value.
We are in a position to-day to select from
among many of approxm .tely equal value

some Fast Time on the Maine Central.

The train which brought the Sir knights of
Lewiston back from their excursion TO Kineo
made some good time between Bangor and
Lewiston, Thursday. The train started from
Bangor at 25 and arrived at Lewiston at 8
o'clock, two hours and thirty-ive minutes. 1t
seems to be a safe statement that no train of
five cars ever made as quick time between
the two cities. Soon after leaving Bangor
the train was brought to a stop by signal
which was given by mistake. Thus three or
four minutes were lost. 1t reached Wat
erville, distance of fifty four miles, in one
hour and ten minutes. locomotive with
one or two cars once made the trip in one
hour and FIVE minutes. According to tests
by members of the party, one mile was passed
over in fifty three seconds, another in fifty
fosr seconds and another in sixty seconds.
The train was pulled by mo. Is" in charge

A New Woman Craze in the East.

A little fodder plant has been discovered that
removes nervous exhaustion and nervousness at
once. 1t makes a big appetite. sweet sleep, and
gives double powers of endurance, while 1t is
harmless, tasteless, and neither a medicine nor
Stimulant. There is great excitement over it
everywhere. 1t is said to stop the liquor habit
and remove the effects of dissipation and. over-in-
diligence at once, Druggists sell it. 1t is very
cheap. They call it Moxie Nerve food, II true
we are not surprised the women are excited over
it, 1t will make the use OF medicine unnecessary
half the time. The doctors commend it. Its sale
is said to be unparalleled. First, the women went
wild over it for nervous exhaustion and effects Of
severe physical and mental overstrain. Now it is
ascertained that it will stop the liquor habit and
remove the effects of dissipation and physical
abuses at once. A hugh company has been form
ed and Chicago is to have mandatory at 33
North State street. There is a perfect craze over
it in Washington and large cities East Every
body drinks it from the President down. They
call it Moxie Nerve Food. The doctors say it is
harmless, being neither medicine, stmulant nor
poison. It is exceedingly popular among the elite
of the big cities 1t is rapidly substituting the use
of stimulants tonics, and fancy drinks. The
women swarm after it. The churches and moral
associations give it their influence, as it is desti
tute of alchohol, gives great powers of endurance
and does not lose its effect more than food, The
druggists sell it for MOXie Nerve Food. 1t is said
Its sale is unparalleled. We welcome it.
