llORSFORD’S SELF-RAISING BREAD 
PREPARATION 
Makes tlie most wholesome and best of bkead, btscuttv 
CAKBS, &c. Unlike some'other yeast, it. contains no POISON 
to create DYSPEPSIA, and the bread may therefore he 
eaten hot without detriment. Resolving itself into Phos¬ 
phate of Lime and soda, it prevents RICKETS, CHOLERA, 
and decay of TEETH, and promotes the growth of Muscle 
and Bone. In “ raising ” 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 Fnlton-st„ New York. 
Interesting to Ladies.— My wife lias used 
a Grover & Baker sewing machine for eleven 
years , during which lime it lias never needed 
a dollar’s worth of repairs, excepting once 
when broken by an accident in moving. It lias 
done all sorts of work in the most satisfactory 
manner.
