kJMITITS CAMBRIAN ESSENCE wholly supersedes
the necessity of 'rocking meat in a chimney or smoking
house, as it gives the true Westphalian or Wood Smoke Flavour
in a very superior manner and in a much shorter time. This highly
useful article was well known to, and much approved by, the late
Sir Joseph Banks. It may be applied with. equal advantage to
Hams, Tongues, Bacon, Beef, or Fihh, and perfectly answers the
purpose in either case.
