SLORING, while thanking the public of • Nelson for the rapidly increasing support they have bestowed on the Nelson Meat Bazaar, begs to call attention to the fact that he supplies purchasers with the BEST JOINTS at the most moderate charges. The annexed extracts are copied from a report in the Nelson Government Gazette, of date July 1. 1867, by Dr. Cusack, Provincial Surgeon, who reported on Pleuro-pneumonia : — " I have to state ray distinct opinion, that much of the mutton consumed in Nelson is unwholesome, in the sense of being almost destitute of the requisite elements of nutrition." Dr. Cusack makes the following observations regarding the meat supplied by the Nelson Meat Bazaar : — " To those who can afford it, it is generally possible to obtain good meat; but to working m:'n, to whom Id. or 2d. a pound is a large consideration, the importation of cattle has, in my opinion, been a great boon. Mr. Johnson, the enterprising merchant -who has lately imported cattle into Nelson, is an utter stranger to me ; but as some prejudice>xists against his beef, it is my duty, for the information of that portion of the community with whom its lower price is a consideration, to state my impartial opinion, that all of it that I have had an opportunity of seeing or tasting ■was sound and wholesome, much more so than a great deal of the nmtton lately sold in Nelson. If carefully stall-fed and tended on board ship, lam aware of no reason why most of the animals, if previously healthy, should not be landed in sound health at Nelson." SHIPPING SUPPLIED.
