We, MARGARET DICKSON, of Shelsley Court, Shelsley Beauchamp, in the County

the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is to provide a wholesome and nutritious food for
dogs, cats, puppies, and other animals; and birds.
Now according to this invention we take coarse oatmeal 1 cwt. and sheeps
paunches in the proportion of 80 lbs. to every 1 cwt. of meal. The paunches
are then desiccated and chopped as small as possible. These two ingredients i.c.
the meal and the desiccated paunches are thoroughly mixed, and we then add
two ounces of flour of sulphur to every 112 lbs. of the mixture and thoroughly
incorporate it therewith. The food may be mixed with water or milk and
administered either warm or cold. The desiccation of the paunches may be
effected by means of a kiln or in any other suitable way.
Although the proportions of paunches and oatmeal hereinbefore stated are the
best known to us at present yet we do not bind ourselves to such proportions
absolutely as the same may be varied without departing from our invention.
