Horst‘ord’s Bread Preparation
is the strongest and best baking powder made
Its active principle isHorsford’s Acid Phos-
phate in powdered form. As is well known,
the phosphate of lime is an essential constit.
uent of all grains, and is an important nutri-
tive principle and indispensable element in
the construction of all the animal tissues.
In the process of bolting fine wheat flour, a
large portion of the phosphates are lost.
This baking powder restores them, and thus
renders biscuit, bread and pastry made with
it perfectly healthy and nutritious. Itecon-
tains no alum or any harmful ingredient, but
is positively the most economical and healthy
baking powder that can be used. .

Cream Balm, however, “has been weighed in
the balance and not found wanting." It is a
sovereign, speedy, certain and pleasant cure
for Catarrh and cold in the head. Thousands
of persons have attested this fact. “Ely’s
Cream Balm is a God-send,” writes Mrs. M.
A. Jacks )l] of Portsmouth, N. H., on May
22d, 1882, - “I had Catarrh for three years,
had tried nearly all remedies but to no pur-
pose. Two or three times a week’my nose
would bleed quite freely, and I thought the
sores in it would never heal. Your Balm has
cured me." This preparation is not a liquid
or a Snuff. and is easily applied. Can you,
reader, afford to experiment with injurious
irritants and injections when a pleasant cure
is at hand 'i’ . 2t6. ,

I‘liave been engaged in the man-
ufacture of Confectionery about six
months and selling at wholesale
only, butnow. through the urgent
request of many friends I have
opened a candy department in my
Store, where I shall sell at whole-
sale and retail, Confectionery in
every variety of my own manufac-
ture, which I will guarantee pure
and unadulterated. Not as cheap
as some sell it in Town, but as
reasonable as Pure Sugar Candy can
be sold. People do not realize the
depraved character of some of the
Candy sold throughout this country.
Much of it is made out of term alba
or while clay with enough gum to
stickit together. enough sugar to
sweeten it, and enough coloring
matter to make it look gay.
Ihave also the usual line of Toy
Books and holiday publications.
Chatterboxes, 5 different kinds, rang-
ing in price from 500 to $1.00. A
beautiful line OfBoa: Paper. Diaries
for 1883 in endless variety. ranging

every thing in the smoking line.
