DOGS. \lt ANY years Bince we had the pleasure IVJ. to introduce to the public the BUFFALO EAT DOGS BISCUITS, now bo extensively used in the principal kennels of the world. Sinoe 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 natura to produce good hard flesh and muscle, ingre.-. clients 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 Di 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, 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—"Baffolo Meat, Trade Mark," the quality of which \ye guarantee.
