THE

IDEAL" BOTTLE
THE BEST FOR

SPECIALITIES AND PREPARATIONS.

The several flat sides have the effect of brilliantly reflecting the contents, thus greatly
increasing the natural brightness of the preparation. This is evident when seen in

a good light, as in a shop window. A good, attractive bottle, well labelled and

finished, frequently sells a preparation.

"LANC'ET" Report, Oct. 24, 1914.— " Plasmon Oat-Cocoa shows a careful incorporation of the

constituents indicated, and when prepared according to instructions gives a very palatable and highly
nutritious food. In particular it is reinforced with the tissue-building material of milk. According to our
analysis it contains just upon 20 per cent, of milk protein. In addition, there is 15.60 per cent, of fat present
derived chiefly from cocoa. The moisture amounted to 6.50 per cent, and the mineral matters to 4.80 per cent.
In these last there was an abundance of phosphates. It is a wholesome, sustaining food."

beginning of the war all stocks of saltpetre and nitric acid

have been requisitioned by the War Department, so that

it has been necessary to endeavour to obtain supplies of
these from Switzerland, and to commandeer stocks in Ant-
werp. Several factories are employed in the production of

nitric acid from ammonia. On account of these factors, the
sulphuric-acid manufacturers have had to limit their pro-

duction in order to conserve the stocks of pyrites and other
raw materials, and the same applies to manufacturers of

dyestuffs who make the sulphuric acid they require by the

contact process.
