TV/TANY years since we had the pleasure IVI to introduce to the public the BUFFALO MEAT DOGS BISCUITS, now so extensively used m the principal kennels of the world. Sinoe that time we have made many im portance improvements m their manufacture —improvements hot 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 Dj 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 bo found m the flesh, thus 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 shillings per c wt, carriage paidj SOLE MANUFACTURERS, W. G.

NOTICE. THE ART, OR GIFT~OF TEA TASTING Is only known to about one out of every 20,000 TEA BLENDING . To one out of every 50,000 of the European population of the world \ so wha must the public think of the many m New Zealand that have only found it out sine* the success of NELSON IWO/STE^ GO'S BLENDS. The great name, and the constant and increasing demand for NELSON MOATE & GO'S TEAS Has certainly led to * lot of dealers m all sorts of wares packing teas, thinking the public will be satined with them ; but, as it is well known that anyone can buy tea and pack it m packets with an elaborate label and big name, we do not wonder at the public refusing to buy these mixtures. NO BETTER PROOF OF THE POPULARITY OF \TELSON HfOATE _> T fl OS mE A S II.BLSON MOATB (£ UOS 1B A S Is required than the fact that THEY IMPORTED OVER A FOURTH OF THE WHOLE OF THE TEA THAT CAME INTO NEW ZEALAND DURING THE LAST TWELVE MONTHS.
