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 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 . —I have the honour to be, sir, your obedientservant.
