INCREASING DEMAND! 
ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENTS FOR 1869, 
THE AMERICAN FRUIT - PRESERVING POWDER, 
This PRESERVING POWDER is win-ranted to effectually 
prevent fermentation and subsequent decay in all kinds of 
Fruits, Juices, and Syrups of Fruit, Jellies, Tomatoes, Veg- 
etables, Wine. Cider, fee, &c, and preserve them in as good 
and wholesome condition as the best "canned" fruit. &c, 
without the trouble and expense of sealing or air-tighting 
the jars or cans, and with or without the use of sugar. 
It admits of keeping the fruit. &c. for 1 or 3 years, in large 
Glass. Earthen, or Stoneware Jars, by merely corking with 
a common cork, or tying cloth or paper over them, and of 
using or removing the fruit from time to time as wanted, 
without danger of fermentation from weeks of full exposure 
to the air. 
It saves Sngar. 
It saves from ")0 to 75 per cent in the cost of Jars. 
It is purely antiseptic, and warranted as healthful as Salt, 
Sugar, Spices, and all other well-known antiseptics used for 
preserving animal and vegetable substances. 
We will warrant it to preserve fruits. &c. equal in color, 
flavor, and appearance, to the best canned fruit, &c, and at 
less than one-half the cost of any other known method. 
To confirm the above, we add a few testimonials from 
families of the highest respectability, the originals of which, 
and others, may be seen at our office, where we cordially in- 
vite the public to examine our specimens of fruit, and will 
be glad of giving any further information.

Mr WoBBAIX-Dear Sir: I nave given your Preserving 
Powders a faithful trial, and am prepared to recommend 
them to every housekeeper as an Indispensable article 
I have done up most all kinds of fruits, and am delighted. 
I have some plums that I left uncovered, as an experiment, 
and to-night they are as perfect as when first preserved. My 
"Pines and peaches are the finest I have ever seen— not only 
ackiiowled''ed so bv im self, but bv all who have tried them. 
Tliis mode of preserving so far exceeds any other as one can 
imagine. I am prepared to show my preserves to any one 
who may choose to call and examine them. Success to the 
American Preserving Powders. ,„,-,,•,,„.

L. P. Wonr.ALL, General Azent-Dear Sir: We used your 
Fruit Preserving Powders last season in putting up toma- 
toes and peaches. The directions were carefully followed, 
and with the best results. All have kept well, and we see 
no difference between those put up with the Fruit-Preserv- 
ing Powders, which are kept In common stone jars, and 
those put up in air-tight cans, by the old method We ex- 
pect, therefore, to use vonr Fruit-Preserving Powders next 
season in putting up^ur entire supply.^ ^ BR0CKETT

L P. WonuALL.— Dear Sir: A package of your 
American Fruit-Preserving Powder has given us unexpect- 
ed satisfaction. My wife applied it to raspberries and straw- 
berries, both as fruit and in jam, which is very diffieult to 
keep and all were preserved in perfect freshness and purity. 
She showed it to several ladies who were afraid to try the 
Powders, and they are much pleased at its success. Com- 
pany at our table yesterday complimented the fruit, and 
were surprised when my wife told them that your powders 
preserved berries so fresh. They are an important addition 
to household conveniences, and deserve the patronage ot 
all who have fruits of any kind. Yours tm y, 
(Rev.) R. M. SARGENT.

L P. Worrall & Co.:— The package of American Fruit- 
Preserving Powder that I procured ol you last spring proves 
quite a success. I used it tor strawberries, raspberries, and 
gooseberries. 1 put tliem up according to the directions, 
and thev are now in a perfect state of preservation. They 
have been exposed to both heat and cold. 1 consider them 
a erect saving of labor and sngar. The fruit retains its nat- 
ural color and flavor. There is not the least unpleasant 
tasf from the effects of the powder. „ A „^™

Messrs. L. P. Worrall & Co.:— Dear Sir: During the 
past season, obtained two packages of your "Fruit-Preserv- 
ing Powder" for trial. Allow nie to state, for the benefit of 
our Southern matrons and fruit growers everywhere, that I 
tested the merits of your "powders" in the making of sev- 
eral kinds of preserves, as well pies made of dried peaches, 
and I fully endorse the virtues you ascribe to them ; and it 
further experiment shall demonstrate (as I have no doubt it 
will) their great potencvin preserving all kinds of fruit, 
von will have bestowed upon mankind one of the greatest 
blessings and comforts of the nineteenth century. 
Yours, very respectfully, RICHARD H. DAY.

L. P. Worrall— Dear Sir : The Package of American 
Fruit-Preserving Powders purchased of you I used in keep- 
ing green corn, which it did to perfection. We are using 
the corn now. and it is just as nice as that fresh from the 
cob. I am extremely well pleased with the powders. I 
think I shall use it pretty extensively the coining year. 
Respectfully, C. W. HEATON.

L. P. "Worrall & Co.:— In reply to your request in regard 
to the Preserving Powders, I will say it Is the nest article for 
keeping fruit fresh and from souring that I ever saw. I have 
used the berries, and they are as fresh and as nice as when 
put in the cans; and one to-day I opened, and it was not 
sealed tight, and it was sweet and nice as when put in the 
cans, fat is all that is recommended, and you may use my 
name, and say it is the very article. 
' Yours respectfully, M. F. CAMPBELL.

January 5, 1S69. 
L. P. "Worrall & Co.:— I tike pleasure in giving you our 
testimony in favor of your Fruit-Preserving Powder. We 
u«ed it for corn, and the results were highly satisfactory. 
We did not air-tight the jars, and upon the first of January 
the corn was as good as when first prepared. 
We also used it for raspberries, without air-tighting the 
jars, and upon the first of January they were perfectly good, 
not even the most prejudiced persons could detect the least 
taste foreign to the natural flavor ot the fruit. 
It must prove highly satisfactory to every one 
Very cordially, 
L. O. BAILEY.

Mr. L. P. Worrall:— I made but little use of your Fruit- 
Preserving Powder the last season, receiving it rather late. 
In putting up a lot of peaches in glass cans, 1 tried the pow- 
ders in but two, and at this time they are as free from fer- 
mentation as when canned, whilst all those that were put up 
without, fermented in a short time, and were all lost. I in- 
tend to make great use of it in future, believing it to be the 
most certain mode of keeping fruit. 
Respectfully, Mrs. J. F. PHIFER. 
From James A. Wright, yotasulga, Ala. 
January 17, 1869. 
L. P. Worrall & Co.:— My fruit was nearly all cone when 
I received the Powder last summer, therefore did not put 
np any kind of fruit with Powders, but clingstone peaches ; 
they kept very nicely, retaining the flavor of fruit more 
than by any other process that I have tried ; all who ate of 
the fruit pronounced it a success. 
Truly yours, JAMES A. WRIGHT. 
From E. R. Gird, Hudson, Rates Co., Mo. 
January 2S, 1869. 
L. P. Worrall & Co.:— You wish to know how we like 
the Preserving Powder; in reply, will say we esteem it very 
highly, and take great pleasure In recommending it to our 
friends, fully believing that it will do all that is claimed for 
it. We tried it in several kinds ot fruit, all of which saved 
very fine, but Mrs. Gird is lavish of her praise of its excel- 
lence in preserving sweet pickles (peaches . and would say 
to all housekeepers, try the Preserving Powder, and pre- 
serve your delicacies cheaply and effectually. 
Very respectfully, E. R. GIRD.

L. P. Worrall & Co., yew York City— Dear Sir: Ac- 
cording to vour request I will give you my experience with 
regard to the American Preserving Powder. 1 put up some 
three gallons of peaches in a stone jar which I cemented a 
paper over, and opened them Christmas day, now two weeks, 
and as fine as when they were put up. I think better than any 
canned peaches I ever tasted, some think them better fla- 
vored since opened ; stood open near the stove in my kitch- 
en, pretty warm most of the time. I think that they are a 
great favor, as i am a great lover of fruit ; did not put any 
sngar in. 1 am satisfied that they keep fruit CpEffehes) cheap- 
er and much better than the best tin cans.

Mr. L. P. Woriiall, New York— Dear Sir: 1 would 
state that the powders received from you last year were all 
that von say they are. I have peaches now that are as fresh 
and nice as they were when taken from the tree, and that 
we have opened "jars that was several weeks before the last 
was eaten and which remained open all the time, and if any 
difference at all, the last was better than when first opened. 
1 am delighted with Die powders, and the more so that some 
of my neighbors tried to discourage me from sending lor 
them, saying they were a Yankee humbug. I cannot say 
enough in their praise. 
Yours respectfully, Mrs. SARAH J. RAMSDELL.

Messrs. Worrall & Co.. New York— Gentlemen: Last 
spring I purchased a package of rour justly celebrated

ical effect. I take great pleasure in adding my testimony 
as to its being all aud even more than yon claim for it.

Mr. L. P. Worrall :— We received and used one paper 
of your American Fruit-Preserving Powders last season in 
canning currants, raspberries, and grapes, and lost none — 
succeeded in all on first trial. We exhibited one can ofeacli 
at our County Fair, and was awarded three first premiums 
in a very respectable collection, embracing fruits in all the 
various forms, and all the patent sealers in modern nse, and 
we think they were unequalled by anything on exhibition. 
The weather was warm ; the cans had no protection but a 
paper tied over the top, exposed for three days to open air 
and sunshine, being something of a novelty, "were scrutin- 
ized frequently, opened, tasted, and roughly handled ;— dur- 
ing the entire lime exhibiting no symptoms of fermentation, 
and arc still in a perfect Btate of preservation, while nearly 
all others on exhibition, with much less handling and ex- 
posure, presented more or less indications of fermentation.

From Mrs. L. J. Feexhead, JVo. 19S Rloomjield Street, 
Hoboken, ycic Jersey, Dec. ISth, 186S. 
L. P. Worrall— Dear Sir: I am happy to inform you 
that during the past fruit season I used your American 
Fruit-Preserving Powder to preserve Plums, Peaches, &c, 
which, according to your directions, 1 stored in large Stone- 
ware Jars, and did not seal air-tight, but merely tied a cloth 
over the top of the jars. During the past two months I 
have been using the Fruit from the various Jars as wanted, 
and find them in flavor and appearance equal, in fact better, 
than my best results have been with various other methods. 
The fruits have never exhibited the least signs of fermenta- 
tion, or of mold upon the surface, and are now in perfect 
condition. I esteem the Preserving Powder an article of 
rare and unquestionable merit, and destined to supersede 
all other methods for preserving fruits, &e. 
l'ours, truly, Mrs. L. J. FERNHEAD.

Messrs. L. P. Worrall & Co.— Dear Sirs : The package 
of "American Preserving Powder" received from you last 
season I used in preserving Tomatoes, Peaches, Pears, and 
Apples. The fruits arc now as fresh and perfect in flavor 
ana appearance as if gathered from the tree or vine this 
morning. So perfectly satisfied was I, that the powder 
would prevent fermentation that I put up a number of jars 
of fruit without even a stopper ol any kind, in order to 
prove/its antiseptic powers. These fruits so preserved with- 
out stopper, (nothing closing the mouth of the Jar but a 
single thickness of writing paper) I have repeatedly exhib- 
ited to both eye and palate of visitors, who all aver the fruit 
is perfect and" better than most of the air-tight canned fruit. 
No method or process can ever surpass yours for preserving 
fruit in perfection, while the chemicals added are essential 
to the health of a very large proportion of people, and inju- 
rious to none. Very respectfully.

L. P. Worrall. N. Y. — Dear Friend: We procured a 
package of American Preserving Powder last season, and 
used some of it, but have not used all the fruit ; yet such as 
we have is as good as t lie best air-tight fruit. Am well pleased 
with it, will want a lot for the coining season, as it is so 
much easier to take care of fruit than the old wav. 
Very truly, thy friend, JOHN EDGKRTON.

Mr. L. P. Worrall— Dear Sir : My wife used the Amer- 
ican Preserving Powder the past season, and was highly 
pleased with it. She used it for preserving blackberries, 
peaches, pears, and plums, and found that it would do all 
that it was recommended to do, and even more, for she put 
it in pickles, and never had them so nice before. I therefore 
can conscientiously say that it is the best method possible 
lor preserving fruit, being cheap and sure.
