Dunedin University Laboratory. : Farinaceous Food. Manufactured by R. Hudson and Co., Dunedin. " This prepared Food contains in due proportions all the essentials of good nntritious food. The ratio of the nitrogenous or flesh* forming constituents to the non-nitrogenous or heat-producing and respiratory ingre* dients being 1 to 5*7, is such as is recognised by the highest authorities as very satisfactory. The inorganic salts found in the ash are those which are always present in good wheat flour, and are necessary constituents of food. " The percentage of sugar is a little higher than is usually found in wheat flour. This, however, is no disadvantage, and is due, probably, to the process of manufacture. I consider that your mode of preparation gives t the advantage over unprepared flour of retaining its sweetness for a longer period, and resisting more effectually the deleterioua Influence of a damp climate. "On the whole, I can recommend your preparation as a very digestible, wholesome, and nutritious article of food ; these good qualities will doubtless secure for it a large demand among all classes of the community.

STEEDMAN'S SOOTHING POWDER FOR CHILDREN CUTTING TEETH. CAUTION TO PURCHASERS. The value of this well-known Family Medicine has been largely tested in all parts of the world, and by all grades of society, for upwards of fiity years. Its well-earned extensive sale has induced spurious imitations, some of which in outward appearance so closely resemble the original as to have deceived many purchasers. The proprietor therefore feels it due to the publio to give a special caution against the use of such imitations. Purchasers are therefore requested care* fully to observe the four following distinctive characteristics, without which none are genuine : — 1. In every case, the words JOHN STEEDMAN, Chemist, Walworth, Surrey, are engraved on the Government Stamp affixed to each packet. 2. Each single powder has directions for the dose, and the words, John Steedman, Chemist, Walworth, Surrey, printed thereon. 3. The name Steedman is always spelt with two ee's. 4. The manufacture is carried on solely at Walworth, Surrey. Sold in Packets by all Chemists and Modi* cine Vendors, at Is l£d and 2s 9d each. Sold by Kempthorne, Proseer, and Qq, 9 Dnnedin. Otago,
