Poison in
No article entering so generally into the food of ever
household is so generally and villainously adaltered as bak
ing powder. These adulterated powders are shoved upon
the public with the greatest persistency.
Throbbing advertisements in newspapers claiming thil
brand or that is absolutely pure, backed by analyses and cer
tificates, and yet they are adulterated with ammonia or alum.
It is to be hoped the law will take hold of these merciless
manufacturers and punish them for destroying the stomachs
of the unsuspecting consumer.
Amid all this fraud and deceit Dr. Price's Cream Bak
ing Powder stands almost alone battling for pure food and
continues to furnish a pure cream of tartar powder at almost
the same cost to the people as the ammoina and alum pow
ders aro sold at, yet it costs much more to manufacture.
Dr. Price's 'Cream Baking Powder is of the highest
strength. It produces the largest amount of leavening power
attainable ia a pure baking powder. It is free from ammo
nia or any other adulteration. No powder does such work.
