A PANCREATISED MILK AND CEREAL FOOD.

The "Allenburys" Diet is a complete food, being manufactured from milk and wheaten meal, both ingredients being largely predigested. It is most palatable and easy of digestion, and can be mace in a minute, the addition of boiling water only being necessary. Whilst acceptable to all as

a light nourishment, it is especially helpful to Invalids. Dyspeptics, and the Aged.

For Travellers by Sea or Land this complete Food will be found exceedingly valuable.

To the English colonist or the indigenous Malay, the name at once suggests commercial prosperity, landed interests, capitalism in a country
