Mans Unreasonableness

is often as great as woman s. But
Thos. S. Austin, Mgr. of the Re
publican, of Leavenworth, Ind,
was not unreasonable, when he re-
fused to allow the doctors to operate
on his wife, for female trouble. ''In-
stead he says, we concluded to
try Electric Bitters. My wife was
then so sick, she could hardly leave
her bed, and five [5] physicians had
failed to relieve her. After taking
Electric Bitters, she was perfectly

DRUGS IN FOOD
Ii in Doubt Read the Following

III in Doubt Read the Following
At a hearing before the committee
on Public Health, Of the Massachu-
sets Legislature, on bill designed
to prevent the wholesale drugging
Of the public, the following eminent
Boston physicians testified against
the healthfulness of Rochelle Salts,
and strongly recommended the pas
sage Of a law which would prohibit
the sale of those Cream of Tartar
Baking Powders which leave this
dangerous drug in the food: DR..
Hartung, DR.. G. Q. Kepler, Dr.: r.
B. Foster, DR.. G. NJ. Palmer.
The average consumer of baking
powder does not know that re-
action occurs in the process of bak-
ing. When chemical reaction
takes place the nature of the original
material is entirely changed, so
that the substances which remain in
the food to be taken are very differ
ent from those which compose the
baking powder before baking. For
this reason the statement that .
baking powder contains Alum or
Cream Of Tarter is worthless so far
as informing the consumer as to
what he eats. What the consumer
wants to know is what goes into his
stomach; not what is in the can.
The much advertised Cream Of Tar
tar Trust powders are Of such COM
position as to leave large quantities
of Rochelle Salts in the food. They
have never denied this: they dare not
deny it. Why be induced By their
