Improvements in Biscuits.
I, EDWARD FRANCIS COATES, of 28 Market Hill, Sudbury, in the County
of Suffolk, Baker and Confectioner, do hereby declare the nature of my said
invention to be as follows:-
The object of my invention is to incorporate with the biscuits such chemicals as
are prepared for use for medicinal and other similar purposes.
In carrying out my invention, I add the chemical or chemicals during the process
of mixing the materials to form the biscuits. For instance; in the manufacture
of "tonic" biscuits, I add phosphate or hypophosphite of iron or steel to the
flour or meal or other material of which the biscuits are chiefly composed.
By the use of my invention, the nauseous flavour of the chemicals is greatly
diminished thus rendering medicines more pleasant to the taste and more readily
consumed.

Improvements in Biscuits.
I, EDWARD FRANCIS COATES, late of 28 Market Hill, Sudbury, in the County
of Suffolk, but now of The London Bakery, High Street, Shanklin, Isle of Wight,
Baker and Confectioner, do hereby declare the nature of my said 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 my invention is to incorporate with the biscuits certain chemicals
prepared for use for medicinal and other similar purposes.
According to my invention I add the chemical or chemicals during the process of
mixing the materials to form the biscuits.
The following are the biscuits prepared according to my invention :-
One pound of anæmia biscuits contain :-Phosphate of iron 2 drachms, sugar of
milk 14 drachms, flour or meal 6 ounces, butter 3 ounces, egg 2 ounces, sugar
3 ounces.
Babies teething rusks:-Each rusk weighing 6 drachms contain antimonial
powder of a grain, nitrate of potash 1 grain, sugar of milk 2 grains, lard
18 grains, yeast 4 grains, flour is added to make up the 6 drachms.
Army fatigue biscuit :-One pound of these biscuits contain fluid extract of coca
2 drachms, phosphate of iron 1 drachm, sugar of milk 7 drachms, Liebig's extract
of beef ounce, batter being added as formed in the anæmia biscuits to make
one pound.
Flavouring may be added to suit the taste.
I do not confine myself to the exact proportions above described, as they must be
varied to suit the purposes for which the biscuit is intended to be used.
By the use of my invention the nauseous flavour of the chemicals is greatly
diminished; thus rendering medicines more agreeable to the taste and more readily
consumed.

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 :-
In the manufacture of biscuits of the description set forth in the Specification;
the incorporation therewith of the chemicals therein specified, substantially as
herein before described.
