DOG FEEDING IMPEOVEMENTS. 



Since we revolutionised the mode of dog feeding, over 20 years ago, 

 by introducing Meat Dog Biscuits, we have been constantly experimenting 

 with the view of still further improving our celebrated Patent 



MEAT "FIBRINE" DOG CAKES, 



more especially with the view of obviating the objection raised to all Meat 

 Biscuits, viz : -the want of sufficient vegetable matter in them. 



Dogs can be starved to eat anything, but it is a well-known fact (and 

 only those totally ignorant of the management of Dogs will assert the 

 contrary) that there are very few dogs that will voluntarily eat vegetables, 

 and that it is one of the greatest troubles that breeders have to contend 

 with, to get them to eat a sufficient quantity of vegetables to keep their 

 blood in a cool state and their bowels in perfect order. We found by 

 frequent experiments with all kinds of vegetables that their properties 

 were entirely destroyed by the great heat required in baking, but with 

 Beetroot such is not the case, the sugar contained in the Beetroot retain- 

 ing the vegetable properties during the process of baking. 



Thus the great difficulty in the Manufacture of Meat Biscuits has at last 

 been overcome, and we now present to our Customers a Biscuit combining 

 the amount of vegetable ma^tter absolutely necessary for the preservation 

 of the Dog's health, -with the other valuable and nutritious ingredients 

 which have secured a world-wide reputation for our Patent " Fxbrine " 

 Cakes. 



No Meat Biscuit unless it contains Beetroot can possibly be a successful 

 continuous food for Dogs. 



Beware of Worthless Imitations!!! 



See each Cake is Stamped 



" Spratts Patent" and a " X," 



"LOCURIUM" 



The New and most Successful Cure for Overreaches. Sore Backs, or other 

 Wounds, either to the Horse or Rider. Iiivaluahle for Sore Feet in Dogs. 



FORAGE bTsCUITS. 



The use of these Bisauits has become general, as they cause Horses to 

 Condition quicker and more successfully than when fed in the usual way. 



For Hunting Men these Biscuits are invaluable, being alike portable, 

 supporting, tempting, and easily given in the hunting field.
