with receipts for the most delicious
candies, cordials, beverages, and all
other necessary knowledge for the
chef de cuisine of the most exacting
epicure, as well as for the more mod

'shoved'' upon the public with the
greatest persistency. They are first
given away-left in samples at pri-
vate residences, with circulars con-
tanning bogus analyses and certlti-

with suspicion. There is no guaran-

there is real danger that they con-
