The most
eminent chemists of Europe and America, as one man, condemn the
use of alum in articles of food as a prolific cause of physical de-
rangement and disease. Its use in bread-making is forbidden by law
in England, France and Germany. Official reports in this country
condemn alum in any form as an adulteration for articles of food,
and public opinion has so far been aroused that a bill to prohibit its
use in the manufacture of baking powders has been introduced in
the legislature, and none too soon, for it is a startling fact that a large
proportion of the baking powders sold loose or in bulk, and many of
the powders in cans, are made with alum. In striking contrast with
the effects of alum-made materials, are those of the same articles
raised by means of cream of tartar baking powder. Pure grape
cream of tartar baking powder has no equal as a preparation for
making the most delicious and healthful biscuits, cake, pastry, pud-
dings, etc., and it is with great pleasure we assure our readers that
we know Cleveland's Superior Baking Powder, manufactured at
Albany, N. Y., sold only in quarter, half, and one pound tin cans, is
perfectly pure and wholesome. It has long been well and favorably
known, and every cook who gives it a trial will use no other kind.
The most exhaustive chemical analyses of the ablest scientific men
in various parts of the country, as well as the Brooklyn Board of
Health in their recent investigation on this subject, have corroborated
the fact that Cleveland's Superior Baking Powder is made of . the
purest grape cream of tartar, is entirely free from adulteration of any
kind, and is a most healthful and desirable article. — Troy(ii, Y.)
