SLOR ING, 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 my 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." l)r. 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 men, 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^ exists 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 mntton lately sold in Neleon. If carefully stali-fcd and tended on board shift, I am aware of no reason why most of the animals, if previously healthy, should not be landed in souud health at Nelson." SHIPPING SUPPLIED. Nelson Meat Bazaar, Nelson, August 1, 1867. 2946 THE LATE FIRE.
