Dr. Z. T. Sewers, one of the foremost
and ablest pbysicans of Washington, has
town than any other ten men, and in all ‘
five the Children Pure-Food.
Impure food that may not seriously affect the stronger diges-
tive organs of an adult will frequently cause the most serious
illness in a child. TOO frequently this important fact is over-
looked, and children are made sick from eating articles that have
been taken by adults without apparent injury.
A child’s food is largely cakes and bread, and these articles,
when light, sweet, and composed of materials free from deleter-
ious substances, are easily digested, nutritious, and wholesome.
When these articles are made from pure and wholesomegbaking
powder, they are much more healthful and nutritious than when
prepared from yeast, or other leavening agent. But a. danger
arises from the fact that so many of the baking powders of the
market are so impure as to render the food unwholesome. In
fact, chemical analysis has developed the fact that all the baking
powders now upon the market, with the single exception of the
Royal Baking Powder, contain either lime, alum, phosphates, or
acids of an injurious character. When bread or cake is made with
the use of such adulterated articles, these injurious substances
pass into the system, and are the source of very much of the
disease with which our children are afilicted.
, Persons who have not strong constitutions, growing girls,
young children, and many ladies, are particularly liable to the
evil effects produced by the adulterants found in these cheap bak-
ing powders. Heartburn and the prevalent forms of indigestion
are often traceable solely to their action upon the alimentary
organs. Prof. Willard Parker, U. S. Surgeon-General Ham-
mond, Prof. Alonzo Clark, and eminent physicians all over the
country, have spoken most earnestly of the evils arising from such
food.
The absolute purity and wholesomeness of the Royal Baking
Powder are unquestioned. The official reports pf the U. S.
Government Chemists have put this fact beyond all controversy.
Prof. Mott reported that the Royal was undoubtedly the purest
and most reliable baking powder made. Prof. Love’s report
showed it to be of the highest strength, while Prof. McMurtrie,
Chemist-in-Chief of the U. S. Agricultural Department, at Wash.
ington, D. 0., found the Royal the only baking powder in the
country free from both lime and alum, and absolutely pure.
There should be as much care in the choice of a. baking powder
as to obtain pure milk, or in having a prescription compounded
from pure drugs and not from poisons. Pure, wholesome and
delicious bread and cake are assured by the use of the Royal
Baking Powder.
