31 and 33 Vesey Street, New York. 
Gentlemen .-—Business, and a want of opportunity, have 
for the last eight months prevented me sending, or rather 
attending to our monthly club, whose orders 1 sent you 
regularly for .about a year previous. Since that time many 
indeed have been the solicitations by many of the members, 
that I should once again commence and send club orders— 
for, as some declared, they had got no Tea, no matter what 
the price paid, since I quit sending the club orders. I have, 
therefore, at the urgent request of a few, resolved to send 
yon a small order monthly, and as a beginning send you 
the following:

MORSFOffiB'S SELF-RAISING BREAD 
PREPARATION 
Makes the most "wholesome and best of etieatj, biscuit, 
cakes, &c. Unlike some other yeast, it contains no POISON 
to create DYSPEPSIA, and the bread may therefore be 
eaten bot -without detriment. Resolving itself into Phos- 
phate of Lime and soda, it preyents PICKETS, CHOLERA 
and decay of TEETH, and promotes the growth of Muscle 
and Bone. In "raising" the dough it does not, like other 
yeast, decompose the flour, hut adds nutriment to the bread, 
and otherwise improves it in quality and quantity. Each 
package contains full directions for use. Send lor pam- 
Shlet, supplied gratis. Ask your Grocer for " Horsford's
