DOGS t Xjf ANY years since we had the pleasure JLVJL to introduce, to the public the FFALO MEAT DOGS BISCUITS, now extensively used m the principa kennels f the world. Sinoc that time we have made many im ortance improvements m their manufacture —improvements not of the nature of veget compounds which may be added to any ood 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 D.i Zurn, who after many careful analysis and experiments pronounced these biscuits *o be of the greatest excellence, and to ntain double the quantity of nourish ment that is to be found m the flesh, thus farming he best and most successful food for dogs hat is possible to produce. ; It is imortant to notice that every biscuit b stamped—"Buffalo Meat, Trade Mark," the qualiy of which we guarantee.
