COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Manufacture or Production of Biscuits or Food
for Dogs, Game, and Poultry and other Animals.
I EDWARD WYLAM of Henry Street Bermondsey Southwark in the County of
Surrey Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this Invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in
and by the following statement:
The object of this Invention is to manufacture or prepare biscuits or food for dogs
game poultry and other animals consisting of various ingredients such for instance as
those known as "Spratts" dog biscuits so that any acidity likely to be injurious to
the animals fed therewith is corrected or neutralized.
According to my Invention I use in the manufacture or preparation lime as an
ingredient or agent for neutralizing acid wbich lime is applied in the manufacture or
preparation in such a manner that it is properly incorporated in the mass. This I
effect by combining, with the water or liquid, which is used in making the dough or
pasty mass, lime which has the effect of correcting or neutralizing all acidity in the
manufactured product.
I prefer to use the lime called "Stone lime" as I find that I obtain the required
lime water more expeditiously in using that kind of lime than I do if I use what is
commonly called "Chalk lime "-In practice I prefer to put the lime into tanks and
stir occasionally and usually in about 24 hours the liquor is ready for use in preparing
the dough or mass for baking.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said Inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
The employment, in the manufacture or preparation of biscuits or food for dogs
game poultry and other animals, of lime substantially as hereinbefore described.
