Miscellaneous. Important Notice to Captains and Shipowners. BORWIOK'S BAKING POWDER mukes Bread light and digestible in a few minutes without standing to rise as with yeast. Pastry and Puddings should never be made without it, as it renders them light and easy of digestion, and saves butter and eggs. TESTIMONIALS. B 0 RW I C K'S Panama, New Zealand, and Australian Eoyal Mail Steam Ship Kaikoura. Mr Borwick,— May 28th, 1867. Dear Sir, —Having been chief pastrycook at the Eoyal Hotel, Sydney, for the pei iod of eighteen months, and for the last sixteen months pastry-cook and baker on board the above ship, I have great plpaCU"o in recommending- your Baking Powder to the notice of tha public. During the above periods I have constantly used it, and consider it the best preparation of the kind that ever came under my notice.—l have the honoi' to remain yours truly, Eichabd Adams. Having tried Borwick's Baking Powder, 1 we consider it invaluable, especially in passenger and emigrant ships, as it makes bread and pastry light and digestible, effecting a great saving of time and labor, instead of by the ordinary slow process of fermentation by yeast.
