Public/Notices. i ■ ■ ■ PABULTJM VIT^E,; CONCENTRATED ESSENCE OB MEAT. (Under j the1 Special Patronage of, Sir George Ferguson Bowen, G.C.M.G.) '"pHE inferior articles which are sold \ ' in the .colonies as Extracts of Meat, containing so much innutritious or gluey matter, .as likewise - chondrine, has in*: duced Mr H. B. Roberts, of Wanganui, to present, to the public .an .Extract of Meat devpid; of these, matters, which, although, they may solidify an. extract, aqcordingto the highest medical authorities, afford no nutriment to the human system, and render the' extract more liable to -putrefaction. The bulk; arid" weight are, of course, increased by such admixture, with gelatinous matters, thereby largely increasing, the,cost to the consumer, ,as. the. real : essence,, is t so proportionately v decreased- The supe-. riority'of the " Pabulum Vitae " above any other known preparation can be easily detected;:even by the smell. One salt-spoonful of the Extract dissolved in. half a pint of hot water, and flavored with pepper and salt, makes a delicious brown soup, at the cost of. about five farthings. For children, the.quantity of the Extract ought to be much diminished. Perspns on a journey, or taking strong exercise, .may,, with advantage, take an increased, quantity of the Extract. Aperson of weakly or debilitated constitution, /will.be, convinced of the restorative and : invigorating effect of the Pabulum Vitae by taking it twice or thrice a day for a fortnight as directed. One ounce will make eight half pints,of agreeable strength. If the Extract be spread thinly on. toast or bread and butter, it will be found most palatable, and persons travelling in the interior where fires cannot always .be kindled, .will appreciate it'particularly as it dissolves readily in cold water, and in that state makes an equally nutritious and very agreeable, drink. All gravies and soups can be made or. flavored and rendered more nutritious by the use of this extract. COPY OF TESTIMONIALS. From Dr Gibson-^ , . Wanganui, May 7th, 1869. Sir,—l have much .pleasure in testi T fying to. the nourishing properties of your Pabulum Vitas.. It is more palatable than the generality of Extract of Meat, and I consider .it a great boon to invalids and a useful adjunct to the kitchen. I am, sir, yours, &c, Geo. H. Gibson, Surgeon. H. B. Roberts, Esq. From Dr Earle, Wanganui— r . Wanganui, May 13, 1869. Hayfng tested the Pabulum Yitae, or Extract' of Meat, made by Mr. H, B. Roberts,, I have great pleasure in certifying to its merits.

EaBLE, M.8.C.8.E..1i.fi.A., L.M. To H. B. Roberts, Esq. From Dr Curl— ; , ( Rangitikei. June 14, 1869. , Dear Sir,—l have at last completed an examination of ,the .sample, of extract of, meat you forwarded to me for that pur- j pose. After, submitting it to chemical and i the^ other usual teats, I find that it is a pure extract of lean meat, and although there are in it small particles of gelatine and albumen that can be demotf^ strated. by chemical Reagents, yet they are . in. lesg^ifuantities than m, othet",, samples I have submitted to analysis, and tii^are not sufficient in amount in ypur Bafmpre, to be, at all injurious tp" invalids, so long as the extract is not. kept ■too tong. I found the soluble salts, oi Meat^. to tife.in large^proportion, and this js of, importance as it is .principally upon"these salts that,the nutritious valise of extract? pf. meat .for invalids, and those using | them, depends. ,_ Your extract "q.f, Meat, pr.Pabuluni Vit^, is therefore a VMuable,,.nutritive article of diet for appropriate cases. ; I am.dear sir, yours faithfully, S.
