Do You Wish
the Finest Bread
and Cake?

It is conceded that the Royal Baking Powder is
the purest and strongest of all the baking powders.
The purest baking powder makes the finest sweet
est most delicious food. The strongest baking pow
der makes the lightest food.
That baking powder which is both purest and
strongest makes the most digestble and wholesome
food
Why should not every housekeeper avail herself
of the baking powder which will give her the best
food with the least trouble?
Avoid all baking powders sold with gift
prize, or at lower price than the Royal,
they invariably contain alum, lime or sui
phuric acid and render the food unwholesome.
Certain protection from alum baking powders can
be had by declining to accept any substitute for the
Royal, which is absolutely pure.

even after the disease has progressed so
far as to induce repeated bieedings from

copious expectoration (including tubercu-

emaciation and weakness.
Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported to us as cured by Golden Med

dread and fatal disease? You need not take
our word for it. They have, in nearly every
instance, been SO pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians,

representing them, and who were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
a trial of Golden Medical Discovery"
