Avoid all baking powders sold with a gift or
prize, or at a lower price than the Royal, as they in
variably contain alum, lime or sulphuric acid, and
render the food unwholesome.

is an accident to be dreaded, and
that when it occurs treatment should
be promptly applied ? There is no
knowing where the trouble will end;
and while complete recovery is the
rul, the exceptions are terribly fre
quent, and thousands upon thous
ands of fatal illnesses occur every
year ushered in by a little injudicious
exposeure and seemingly trifling
symptoms. Beyond this, there are
to-day countless invalids who cm
tiace their complaints to “colds,’
which at the time of occurrence gave
no concern, and were therefore neg
lected.— When troubled with a cold
