JOHN LAMB, of tho Auckland Roller' Mills and Biscuit Manufactory, Fort-street,' takes the liberty of intimating to tho public that ho has put on the market a " PATENT POR RIDGE MEAL," mado from pure wheat, which is much cooler than oatmeal; and it will be seen from "tho analysis of Mr J. A. Pond, Colonial Analyst, which is annexed, that this is a most valuable food, and it is giving entire satisfaction. It can be obtained at most of the leading grocers' in Auckland and suburbs in 71b bags and up wards, and Brown Bread made from this meal from the leading bakers. In making the por ridge, the water should be boiling Before tha ' meal is put in. Auckland, February 12,1887. J. Lamb, Esq., Auckland. Sir,—At your request I obtained a sample of your "Porridge Meal" from your mill on the 31st ulto., and havo examined tho sample, with the following results :— ANALYSIS. Moisture „' .. - £.' ? _,' 12'__ Soluble Albuminoids.. .. t- -, VW Sugar, Gum', and Dextrine _, _, 5.5 Gluten _ _. _. _, „ 7*06 Cellulose .. _. _."",.■__. '■■ «.' 2-58 Starch and Fat „ ; __ _. • _,- 70-30 Ash._ '■:_, _. .E.tf U 8 -96 100- This sample was produced entirely from wheat, and these results show the preparation of a valu able article of food from which a largo propor tion of the bran has beon removed. Tho nitro genous matter is present to a greater degree than it would be in flour prepared from thi. wheat, while the retention of the germ in the | meal adds greatly to its value as a flesh-pro ducer, owing to the large amount of albumi noids thus retained. Tho ash is heavier than in ordinary wheat flours, and aa this is chiefly composed of phosphates, which are very im portant as bone-forming material-, it will be seen how beneficial this food win 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 this result. I havo the honour to be Your obedient servant, J. A. Pond, Colonial Analyst. CASH BUYERS FOR ELIGIBLE PROPERTY.
