IMPORTANT INVENTION connected with
the MANUFACTURE of BREAD, BISCUIT, and PASTRY.
The Inventor, Mr. JOHN SMITH, of Hare Cra'g, near Dundee,
to-whom her Majesty's Letters Patent have been granted for
England, Scotland, and Ireland, has discovered a METHOD of use-
fully TREATING. the OAT, sea; to obtain therefrom a flour equal,
if not sup,rior to the best wheaten flour. The flour of oats has beets
analysed by well-known chemists, and is 'found to contain a much
larger quantity of nutritious qualities than wheaten flour, and is cal-
culated to give a greater amount of nourishment and strength to the
Muscle, bone, and blood of man. - The inventor intends to extend the
advantages of this discovery by granting licenses In the different
countries for which her Majesty's Letters Patent have,been obtained.
In carrying oat this discovery, there will be required but little altera-
tion in the present system of grinding—an advantage which will be
titmice self-evident, as the manufacture may immediately be entered
upon by those engaged in the manufacture of flour from wheat. In
point of price the benefit will be largely in favour of the consumer,
whde the invention. will create a demand for oats which will b a very
accept able to the growers of that grain in its present depressed state
in the rnatket.
Further particulars of this discovery, and also of the terms unon
Which licenses wilt be granted, may be obtained by application to Mr.
Smith, factor for Lora Douglas, of Douglas, Hare Craig, near Dun-
dee, N.B.
