IMPORTANT INVENTION connected with
the MANUFACTURE of BREAD, BISCUIT, and PASTRY.
The In;Tutor, Mr. JOHN SMITH, of Hare Craig, 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, se as to obtain therefrom a flour equal,
if not superior to the best wheaten flour. The flour of oats has been
analysed by well-known chemists, and is (foetid 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
cowries for which her Majesty's Letters Patent havelbeen obtained.
In carrying out this discovery, there will be required but little altera-
tion in the present system of grinding—an advantage which will be
at once 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,
while Om invention will create a demand for oats which will be very
acceptable to the growers of that grain in its present depressed state
in the market.
Further particulars of this discovery, and also of the terms upon
which licenses will be granted, may be obtained by application to Mr.
Smith, factor for Lord Douglas, of Douglas, Hare Craig, near Dun-
dee, N. 8..
