MANY years since we had the pleasure to introduce to the public the BUFFALO EAT DOGS BISCUITS, now so extensively used in the principal kennels of the world. Sinoe that time we have made many im portance improvements iv their manufacture —improvements not of the nature of veget able compounds which may be added to any food of a trifling cost, but of the nature to produce good hard flesh and muscle, ingre dients which, no oilier Biscuit or Dog Food possesses, and for which we have received numerous medals and high recommendations, amongst which we may mention that of Pn - fessor D.t Zurn, who after many careful analysis and experiments pronounced these biscuits to be of the greatest excellence, and to contaiu double the quantity of nourish ment that is to b§ fovnd in the flesh, thns farming the best and most successful food for dogs that is possible to produce. It is important to notice that every biscuit is stamped—"Baffolo Meat, Trade Mark," the o v?Miy of which we guarantee. Twenty shillings per cwt, carriage paid. SOLE MANUFACTURERS, W. G.
