WATERS: Sir,—l have much pleasure in informing you, that after having made a very careful analysis of various samples of sweetmeats manufactured by you, I find that they are free from all adulteration, and that the colouring matters are quite innocuous. "With regard to the Chocolate, I find that it is quite equal to the best English or French nrepara tions; and, being entirely free from husk, it will form an excellent article of uiet for invalids, especially those suffering from an impaired digestion.—l hav,e the honour to be* sir, your obedient servant;' Jambs M. Tunny, Provincial Analyst. ILSON & CO.'S CELEBRATED BAKING POWDER.-Thls now famed Baking Powder, manufactured by Messrs.
