REPORT of Dr . Arthur Hill Hassall , Analyst of the "Lancet" Sanitary Commission , Author of " Food and its Adulterations , " & c , & c ., on Mayar ' s Semolina : * 'I have carefully tested , chemically and microscopically , the samples of Semolina sent by Messrs . L . Mayar & Co ., 36 , Mark Lane , London , E . C . I find them to be perfectly genuine , of excellent quality , and eminently nutritious . They contain a very large percentage of

nitrogenous matter , chiefly gluten , and are far more nutritious than any other food , such as Arrowroot , Tapioca , Sago , Corn Flour , Farinaceous Food , ordinary Wheat Flour , or any of the Cereals in use as food in this country . — ( Signed ) A RTHUR HILL HASSALL , M . D ., London . " - - Highly recommended by the Faculty for Infants , Invalids , & c . Slakes delicious Pudding , Custards , Blanc Mange , & c . After a trial no family will be without Mayar ' s Semolina .

" —This medicine , which is free from opium and squills , not only allays thc local irritation , but improves digestion and strengthens thc constitution Hence it is used with thc most signal success es

Asthmas , Bronchitis , Consumption , Coughs , Influenza , Night Sweat , of Consumption , Quinsy , and all affections of the throad and chest .
