SANITARY ICE CREAM.

The Odenwald & Gros Co. of GIG
Canal street, who have made such
famous reputation for the purity of
their cream, are taking great pains to
explain to the public why they have
been so successful and have never
had il case of poisoning traced back
to their. establishment. 1t is a we'll
known fact that many of the germs
causing disease are not destroyed by
freezing, and the only other way to
exterminate them positively is through
subjecting the menstrum TO heat ex-
ceeding the boiling point and this the
firm does by boiling all the ingredients
that go TO the manufacture of their
cream. Not only do they boast of this
process, but they also guarantee their
patrons that their flavoring extracts
are made from the pure fruits, in con-
junction with which they use the high
est grade of sugar and fresh Creole
eggs; and while their prices may be a
little higher than those who sell great
quantities of cream, on account of its
cheapness, they will no doubt gain in
the long run by furnishing to the pub
lie an article in which absolute conf
dence may be placed. Their factory,
which is in Exchange Alley, is putting
in every method of sanitation and is
quite appetizing to visitors.
