My residence is in the South Kensington

hand of min constantly supplements this
activity, for in Hyde Perk theroede areas

which was refused admission at Westmin-

ever, lies the dust of many a more licen

restores to the flour the strength-giving
phosphates that are removed with the
bran, and which are required by the
system. No other Baking Powder does
this. It costs less, is healthier and
stronger than any other Powder.
Macos, Ga., July 14, 1884.—I take
pleasure in adding my testimonial to
tho superior excellence o( your Here
ford's Bread Preparation (Baking Pow
der) as an article healthful and nutri
tious. 8o long as snperfine wheaten
flour is made tuo o! lor bread-making,
so long will there be a necessity for re
storing to such flour the nntritive ele
ments of which it is deprived by the
refining process; and, so far as I am
aware, this Is the only Baking Powder
in the market that possesses that qnal
ity; while in giving llghtnoss and
poroaity to the bread, whether made of
superfine or unbolted. (Graham) flour,
there is none better.
Yours respectfully,
