NOTICE. THE ART, OR GIFT~OF TEA TASTING Is only known to about one oat of every 20,000 TEA BLENDING To one out of erery 50,000 of the European population of the world ; so what must the public think of the many in New Zealand that have only found it out since the success of NELSON NIOATE & COS BLENDS. The great name, and the constant and increasing demand for NELSON MOATE & GO'S TEAS Has certainly led to a lot of dealers in all sorts of wares packing teas, thinking the public will be satisfied with them ; but, as it is well known that anyone can buy tea and pack it in 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 NELSON ¥ OATE O_ f\ OS mE A S ELS ON ill OATE Co UOS IEAS . . j 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.

DOGS. 1/fANY years since we had the pleasure IVI to introduce to the public the BUFFALO MEAT DOGS BISCUITS, now so 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 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, sunongst which we may mention that of Pro fessor D.i 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 —"Buffalo Meat, Trade Mark," the quality of which we guarantee. Twenty shillings per c wt, carriage paid SOLE MANUFACTURERS, W. G.
