Bonnajels Bi- -SWLDhne Of Lime.-It gives as plea
sure to refer all interested to the advertisement in
another column of Mr.. BonnabePs very extensive
and complete establishment for the manufacture OF
the BI-Sulp phie OF Lime, and in doing we avail

of the True Dctta, which is written with thorough
understanding of the subject. That Journal says.

H. BoNNABEL's BI-suLPnITE OF LIME-We are
reminded, in another column, by an advertisement
from the large establishment many years in op-
Grafton for the manufacture of Bi-Sulphlte of Lime
that this valuable preparation for the improvement
ofsugar, in whic it would appear to be eninently
successful, is still In popular request by the plan
ters of this State. We understand improvements
of the most valuable character have been introdu-
ced in the manufacture, and that from comparati-
vely low Standard of strength seven eight per
cent. it is now uniformly ter end nnwards.
Skepticism long held out against the use and
utility Of the Bi-Sulphte; nor can it surprise any
one that it was so, seeing how many agents, che /
