Inc BrachiOnigraph.

A patented invention, called the brachioni-
graph, is claimed to render the art of writing
possible in the absence or uselessness of the
hand. 1t is therefore serviceable in cases of
writer's cramp and of paralysis of the fingers.
The instrument is of simple construction, and
consists Of long, light strip of iron, curved
s. as to be easily adapted to the ulnar border
of the forearm. This splint is sewn into a
casing of supple leather material, shaped SO
as to form kind of gauntlet or sleeve for
the forearm. The gauntlet Is fastened to the
forearm by an ingenious arrangement of
screw hooks and studs, allowing of an adj
Unstable degree of pressure. The bar or
splint carries at its lower end a mechanism
with universal joint by means of which a
pen may be held in any desired position.
With this instrument the act Of writing is
performed by the muscles of the arm and
shoulder, while those of the digits and thumb
are thrown completely out of use. 1t Is easy
to acquire the necessary dexterity in the use
Of the invention for legible handwriting. ~

A Perfect Baking Powder.

The great success of the Royal Baking
Powder is due to the extreme care exer.
cised by its manufacturers to make 1t en-
tirely pure, uniform in quality, and of the
highest leavenlng power. All the scientific
knowledge, care and skill attained by a
twenty years practical experience are con.
tributed toward this end, and no pharma.
ecu ical preparation can be dispensed with
a greater accuracy, precision anu exact
ness. Every article used is absolutely pure.
A number Of chemists are employed to test
the strength of each ingredient, so that its
exact power and effect in combination with
its co-ingredients, is definitely known.
Nothing Is trusted 10 chance, and no per-
son is employed in the preparation of the
materials used or the manufacture of the
powder who is not an expert in his partic-
ular branch of the business. AS a conse-
quence, the Royal Baking Powder is of the
highest grade Of excellence, always pure,
wholesome and uniform in quality Each
box is exactly like every other, and will re-
tain its powers and produce the same and
the Highest leavening effect in any climate,
al any time. The Government Chemists,
after having analysed all the principal
brands in the market, in their reports
placed the Royal Baking Powder at the
head of the list FIR strength, purity, and
wholesome ness, and thousands of tests all
over the country have further dem Dnstrated
the fact that its qualities are, in every re-
spect, unrivaled.
