THE FOLLOWING TESTIMONIALS Show the Utility of LAMB'S PATENT PORRIDGE MEAL. Auckland, June 14,1887. John Lamb, Esq. . , . Dear Sir,—lt has been on my mind for some time now to drop you a line about your Patent Porridge Meal. I believe you are aware I have suffered considerably from injury to thestomach from tea-tasting, and having consulted my medical adviser, he strongly recommended Porridge for breakfast, which I have taken until I heard of your Patent Porridge Meal. I may here say the Oatmeal soon caused unplea santness, sourness of the stomach, and pimples and spots, with irritation, on the surface of the body. From this I was glad to get away, and at once took to your Patent Porridge Meal. With it I find none of the irregularities com plained of above, but a most palatable Porridge, and the whole system free from unpleasantness or irritation. I can strongly recommend it, and certainly think you should do a large trade in such an excellent article.—Yours very truly, (Signed) FREDK. WHITEHEAD. Industrial School, Kohimarama, Auckland, June 2,1887. Mr John Lamb. Sir _We have now been using your Patent Porridge Meal at this school for two months, and I consider it but right to inform you that we all (staff as ■well as boys) like it so well that I would find it a difficult matter to get them to t-eturn to using oatmeal. It is without a doubt a splendid article of diet. I may add on my representing to the Education Department in Wellington that I was using your Patent Por ridge Meal instead of Oatmeal, I received authority from Rev. Mr Habens, Secretary for Education, to continue its use in the school. -YOU(I|S fUUSr,„ GEORGE P. HOGAN, Manager. Ponsonby, Auckland, May 30.1887. Mr John Lamb Dear Sir,—l think it a duty to let you know results of your Patent Porridge Mai on our voungeßt boy. He was weakly, and refused every food preparation that could be got. but unon getting some of yours he took to it at once, and afterwards nothing would satisfy ami but this porridge. Five or six times a day is not too much for mm, and seeing it being prepared cried until he got it. He is now strong and healthy, and can eat anything.
