ble-dust and bad flour, and many other impurities
not necessary to mention. No ingredient is used
m the manufacture of this Yeast which is not
pure; and as it is manufactured on chemical prin-
ciples, it will not fail to raise bread ol' every de-
scription, to-wit: loaves, rolls, biscuits, buckwheat
cakes, pie crust, puddings, pot pies, dumplings
and, in short, every variety ot bread or pastryf—
It is equally adapted to corn bread or Indian cake-

or sweet bread. This Yeast Powder is particular-

in any climate. It is put up in' half pound tin
cans, sealed airtight, with directions, &c The
extreme low price at which it is afforded, and the
sureness oí its operation, makes it the cheapest ar-
