The great name, and the constant and increasing demand for NELSON MOATE d GO'S TEAS Has certainly led to a lot of dealers m 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 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 NELSON MOATE O_ HOS mE A S ELSON Jll OA T E '06 tO'S IEAS Is required than the fact that i THEY IMPORTED OVER A FOURTH OF THE WHOLE OF THE TEA THAT CAME INTO NEW ZEALAND DURING THE LAST TWELVE MONTHS.

Sinoe that time w« have made many im portance improvements m 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'othcr 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 Da 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 m the flesh, thns farming the best and most successful food for dogs that is possible to produce.
