Young Doctor Was One Of Those Who
Profited by Advice.
When the old doctor met the young
physician who used to be his assistant
he inquired how he was prospering.
The young man poured out tale Of
woe. and said he had very few patients
and they never paid their bills.
whereupon the old man told him to
cheer up and all would come out right
in the end.

veteran medico, do not be SO candid

A few weeks later the old man again
met the young physician and asked
him how he was getting along. The
young doctor at once began to rattle
on list of cases he was treating
which far exceeded that under the
care Of half a dozen medical men who

All Chemically Pure.

The mistaken idea of few years

lished fact by chemical analysis that
Cream of Tartar being less volatile
than Alum, when exposed to heat, is
not entirely vaporizedf as is the case
with Alum, but leaves a residue in the
bread, which is injurious. Alum, on
the contrary, is entirely evaporated
while performing it's function during
process of baking, leaving no atom OF
injurious residuous substance. The
words Chemically Pure" enormously
used to designate Cream of Tartar
from Alum baking powder is mis-.
homer. Baking Powder made of pure
Alum is as chemically pure as made

words mean nothing more nor less
than pure chemicals, and in no way
can they imply that one baking pow.
