With regard to the Chocolate,. 1 find that it is quite equal to the best English or French prepara tions ; and, being entirely free from husk, it will form an excellent article of. diet for invalids, especially, those suffering from an impaired digestion.—l have the honour to be, sir, your obedient servant, James M. Tunny, Provincial Analyst. WILSON & CO.'S CELEBRATED BAKING POWDER,- -This now famed Baking Powder, manufactured by Messrs.
