REPORTS OF GOVERNMENT CHEMISTS AS TO PURITY AND WHOLE¬ 
SOMENESS OF THE ROYAL BAKING POWDER. 
“ I have tested a package of Royal Baking Powder, which I purchased in the open market, and find it composed 
<of pure and wholesome ingredients. It is a cream of tartar powder of a high degree of merit, and does not con¬ 
tain either alum or phosphates, or other injurious substances. “E. G. Love, Ph.D.” 
“It is a scientific fact that the Royal Baking Powder is absolutely pure. “H. A. Mott, Ph.D.” 
“ I have examined a package of Royal Baking Powder, purchased by myself in the market. I find it entirely 
free from alum, terra alba, or any other injurious substance. 
“Henby Mobton, Ph.D., President of Stevens Institute of Technology.” 
“ I have analyzed a package of Royal Baking Powder. The materials of which it is composed are pure and 
■wholesome. “S. Dana Hayes, State Assayer, Mass.” 
“June 23, 1882.—We ha ve made a careful analytical test of Royal Baking Powder, purchased by ourselves in 
the open market here, and in the original package. We find it to be a cream of tartar powder of the highest degree 
■of strength, containing nothing hut pure, wholesome, and useful ingredients. 
“ A leer?' Mebrill; m:B:; [Analytical Chemists, St. Louis.” 
The Royal Baking Powder received the highest award over all competitors at the Vienna World’s Exposition, 
1873 ; at the Centennial, Philadelphia, 1876 ; at the American Institute, and at State Fairs throughout the 
country. 
No other article of human food has ever received such high, emphatic, and universal indorsement from eminent 
•chemists, physicians, scientists, and Boards of Health all over the world. 
Note.— The above Diagram illustrates the comparative worth of various Baking Powders, as shown by 
Chemioal Analysis and Experiments made by Prof. Schedler. A one pound can of each powder was taken, the 
total leavening power or volume in each can calculated, the result being as indicated in the above diagram. This 
practical test for worth by Prof. Schedler only proves what every observant consumer of the Royal Baking Powder 
knows by experience, that, while it costs a few cents per pound more than the ordinary kinds, it is far more eco¬ 
nomical, and, besides, affords the advantage of better work. 
A single trial of the Royal Baking Powder will convince any fair minded person of these facts. 
* While the diagram shows some of the alum powders to be of a higher degree of strength than other powders 
ranked below them, it is not to be taken as indicating that they have any value. All alum powders, no matter how 
high their strength, are to be avoided as dangerous.
