AND LIQUID is the Cheapest, Most Reliable, and Best-Known Method of preserving all kinds of Fruit, Toma¬ 
toes, etc. Strawberries, Raspberries, and all high-colored Fruits, retain their rich color as well as flavor. One 
ounce of it (costing 3 cts.) is equal to 8 lbs. of sugar in preserving property. 
Established over ten years, and endorsed by thousands upon thousands of families. One trial will establish the 
fact that the American Fruit-Preserving Powder and Liquid will effectually prevent fermentation, and 
preserve all kinds of Fruit, Tomatoes, etc., and keep them the year round, or for years, in jars of any kind or 
size, or in wooden kegs and barrels, without sealing air - tight . Simply corked or tied down with a strong paper is 
all that is needed. 
The fruit will keep without sugar , or any quantity of sugar may be added as desired. 
Warranted to be as healthful as table salt . 
The Fruit, etc., may be cooked little or much, as desired. They will keep without any cooking, or they may be cooked 
down into sauce. The method is simple and easy. None can fail if the Powder and Liquid is added into the Fruit, 
etc., in quantities as directed. 
One package will preserve 256 pounds of Fruit, Tomatoes, etc. Price One Dollar per package. 
Give it a trial. If you can not get it from your Druggist or Grocer, I will send it prepaid to any express office in the
