PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Flour Mixture for Making Bread.
I DENNIS TURNBULL, M.D., LL.D., Licentiate of the Royal Colleges of Physicians
and Surgeons of Edinburgh, practising as a Physician, at No. 2, Bayshill Terrace,
Cheltenham, in the County of Gloucester do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
An improved flour mixture for making bread, is prepared from the best white
wheat, three parts, comprising bran, one part, ground into the finest flour; which is
beautifully blended with one part of the best Egyptian lentils, ground into fine
flour.
This composition makes the choicest bread; and it has this truly important qualifi-
cation, that it altogether obviates the necessity of throwing coarse bran into fine flour,
in order to make, what is commonly termed, brown bread, or, so called, wholemeal
bread: the dire consequences of which act, entails untold mischief upon mankind.
Dated this 17th day of August 1889.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Flour Mixture for Making Bread.
I, DENNIS TURNBULL, M.D., LL.D., Licentiate of the Royal Colleges of Physicians
and Surgeons of Edinburgh, practising as a Physician at No. 2, Bayshill Terrace,
Cheltenham, in the County of Gloucester, do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:-
My invention refers specially to an improved flour mixture for making bread. This
new invention supersedes all other forms of flour preparations, because it embodies all
the natural elements, which are absolutely necessary, for making true and substantial
bread. Indeed my new preparation of flour mixture, may be truly stated, that it
is "the real staff of life." My invention comprises all the physical constituents
which the human economy requires; otherwise man's constitution lamentably suffers,
if these important mineral ingredients are withheld from flour mixtures. Everything
is prepared in my flour mixture which fully meets the necessities of man's nature, and
there is absolutely nothing to offend the coats of the stomach nor the folds of the
mucous membrane covering the small intestines or the rectum. The superiority of
my new invention, is the fact, that nothing of an artificial character enters its
composition.
This new and improved flour mixture, which I have discovered, for making super-
excellent bread, is prepared from the best white wheat three parts, comprising bran
one part, ground into the finest flour; which is beautifully blended with one part of
the best Egyptian lentils, previously ground into very fine flour. This composition
makes the choicest bread; and it has this important qualification that it altogether
obviates the necessity of throwing coarse bran into flour, in order to make what is
commonly termed brown or so-called wholemeal bread: the dire consequences, of
which ignorant act, entails untold mischief upon mankind. By my new process,
man is no longer subjected to the flagrant injustice of eating bread, utterly devoid
of the natural constituents, so essentially required to build up the beautiful mechanism
of man's exquisite composition.

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 1 declare that what I
claim is :
The manufacture of my improved flour mixture for making bread, is as herein-
before described.
DENNIS TURNBULL.
