HORSFORD'S SELF-RAISING BREAD 
PREPARATION 
Makes the most wholesome and best of itread, btscott, 
cakes, &c. Unlike some other yeast, it contains no POISON 
to create DYSPEPSIA, and the bread may therefore be 
eaten hot without detriment. Resolving itself into Phos- 
phate of Lime and soda, it prevents RICKETS, CHnLERA, 
and decay of TEETH, and promotes the growth of Muscle 
and Bone. In "ravdng" the dough it does not, like other 
yeast, decompose flour, but adds nutriment to the bread, 
and otherwise improves it in quality and quantity. Each 
package contains full directions for use. Send for pam- 
phlet, supplied gratis. Ask your Grocer for "Horsford's 
Bread Preparation." WILSON, LOCKWOOD, EVERETT 
& CO., Wholesale Agents, 201 Fulton-st., New York.
