LONDON BREAD.

Tho Medical Times and Gazette says:--The Times this
week has contained an absurd letter complaining of London
bread. It would not be worth notice were it not that it is
evidently a masked battery, an indirect puff, of that
" aerated bread " which, after having been industriousl:i
puffed,by mercenary writers, disappeared from sight, and
men
late has been nursed into notice again.

siblethe bread in that form which the tastes
London public require. As physicians, we know that if
we require for a sickly or dyspeptic patient any bread of
unusual excellency, we have only to send to Spiking, or
Duer or Stewart, or Bonthron, not to mention a score of
other well-known names, and either our patients will find
every kind of roll and luxurious petit pain that can be made
from wheat ripened under the suns of America or the South
and East of Europe. Having made it a special point to exa-
mine bread from many parts of England and Scotland side
by side with London bread, we can assert that the latter is
better than any and made of better flour. If any Londoner
wish for French or German bread he can easily get it. The
bakers in the Soho, orFrenchquartier, will supply him daily
with the long crusty loaves so familiar on the other side of
the Channel. If any one chooses to deal with dirty people,
who make their bread in dirty holes underground, that is his
pleasure ; but good bread is to be had by anyone who chooses
it and likes to pay the price. The bread-making machine of
Stevens is to our knowledge successful. It makes better
bread and yields more. We have heard the increased yield
estimated at 3 per cent, by one who was not prejudiced in
its favour. But this turns out bread ; a good, well-fer-
mented, wholesome, sapid bread, not the trustless lumps of
baked dough which we used to have under the name
" aerated.' We believe that the Dauglish patent is being
worked at Islington with prospects of greater success than
of yore, and shall be glad if it gives us more or better bread.
But it must stand the " proof of the pudding," or fail.
