We are quite certain that Dr. Voelcker has made some error, and no doubt 
that in his report on another sample (a duplicate of these) our impressions 
will be fully confirmed, as it is really a matter of impossibility for the cakes

these analyses will be found similar to the one made for Mr. Blair. 
" Trusting we shall yet be able to convince you that it has at all times 
been our wish to supply you with a good quality of pure cake. Esteeming 
your further commands. — Yourg faithfully, " Pearson Brothers, W.P."

" Alfred Sibson, F.C.S." 
In consequence of this correspondence, Dr. Voelcker has seen 
the manufacturer and convinced him of the impurity and in- 
feriority of the cakes which were sent by Mr. Lister Kaye, and 
of the correctness of his report.
