JOHN LAAIB, of the Auckland Roller Mills anrl Biscuit Manufaotory.'Fort-street, takes the liberty of intimating: to tho public that he lius put on the. market a " PATENT POR-j KIDGI- MISAL," made trom pure wheat, which is much cooler tlinn oatmeal; and it will be seen Irom the analysis.of Mr J. A. Pond, Colonial Analyst, which is annexed, that this is a most valuable food, and It is giving on tire satisfaction. It can be obtained at most ot the leading grocers! in Auckland and suburbs in 71b bags and up wards, and Brown Bread nmdo from this meal from tho leading bakors.

The ash is heavier than in ordinary wheat flours, and as this is chiofly composed of phosphates, which are very im' portant as bone-forming materials, it will be seen how beneficial this food will prove to children. lam of opinion that this preparation will prove of great dietetic value, but to ensure its easy assimilation by the system it will re quire care in cooking, and will need at least thirty minutes at a boiling temperature to attain thi3 result. 1 have the honour to be V ~..,.
