MANY years since we had the pleasure to introduce to the ■ public the BUFFALO MEAT DOGS BISCUITS, now bo extensively used in the principal kennels of the world. *, HSinoe that time we have made many im portance improvements in 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 other Biscuit or Dog Food possesses, and for which we have received numerous-medals and high recommendations, amongst which we may mention that of Pro fessor Djc Zurn, who after many careful analysis and experiments pronounced these biscuits to be of the greatest excellence, and to contain double" the quantity of nourish ment that is to be found 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—"Buffalo Meat, Trade Mark," the quality of which we guarantee. Twenty shiilings per cwt, carriage paid. SOLE MANUFACTURERS, W.
