A PROPHECY FULFILLED.-Wheu Baron
Liebg stated that bis discovery OF Extract Of
Meat (resulting from the analysis of upwards
of SIX sorts of meat) would prove one of the
most b ut fetal TO mankind of his various dis.
coveries, he had no conception of the enormous
extent ct consumption which the future would
develop, nor of the succession of gold medals,
diplomas of honor, and other distinctions which
would be awarded to the L'ebig Company, to
whom be gave the exclusive use of his name.
From few hundred Bavarian oxen, which
were originally suffi ,ent to supply the contin-
entail demand, the total of cattle since used by
the Company exceeds 100000 head, and there
are comparatively few households which do not
avail themselves Of Lebig Company's Extract
of Meat. At the Paris Exhibition OF 1867 Baron
L'ebig himself was bonored with the Grand
Cross of the Legion of Honor, and the Company
with Two Gold Medals, ooe as founders
of an entirely new branch of Industry,
and the second for the best quality of their ex-
tract. At the presen Paris Exhibition the
gold medal, being the frst prize, was awarded
for best quality. This brings up the number
of first prizes and distinctions carried at all ex-
hibitions since the Company's existence to nine
gold medals and diplomas CT honor-Morning
