Meat FiMne Dog Cakes 



(WITH BEETROOT). 



IMPROVED PATENT, 1881. 



We have discovered and patente4 an important improvement to 

 our Cakes, by supplying the long-felt want of sufficient vegetable mat- 

 ter in the Cakes themselves. In now introducing them, the public must 

 not suppose that we have removed or changed any of the ingredients 

 (including dates and the best Scotch oatmeal) of our Fibrine Cakes, 

 which for twenty years have had so great a reputation, and by succes- 

 sive improvements and care in the manufacture, and in choosing tlie 

 best materials, have reached a very high degree of perfection. 



After thorough and widely tried experiments upon all classes of dogs, 

 and witnessing their preference for and increased thriving upon our 

 new production, we have permanently adopted among the ingredients 

 the addition of a selected and specially prepared variety of the vegetable 

 Beta Vulgaris^ or Beetroot. 



After repeated experimental trials for years of every species of vege- 

 table, we have found that a kind of beet is the only one that bears th3 

 enormous heat necessary for perfect baking, while retaining the essen- 

 tial vegetable quality uninjured, and in its highest condition for 'the 

 dog. 



Beetroot contains one tenth of saccharine matter, the remainder con- 

 stituting the true vegetable quality of the utmost value in due propor- 

 tion. It thus makes up the perfect balance, the want of which has been 

 the only fault of the date, which contains more than one half sugar. 



Our anxiety has constantly been to counteract any binding tendency 

 to dogs not kept in full work, and for this reason we have been obliged 

 carefully to avoid the least excess of dates, thac in other respects have 

 such excellent value as an ingredient. 



The beet that we now use has no binding effect whatever, but a gen- 

 tle, healthy action in the opposite direclion, enabling the various other 

 bone, flesh, and tissue-forming substances used in ttie manufacture of 

 our celebrated Fibrine Cakes, the more readily to assimilate with the 

 gastric juices, whereby digestion is more perfectly formed.
