I% bears its own testimony of its qualities, and itis testi- mony which is always convincing. The moker who uses it is never annoyed by getting i¢ sometimes of good «quality an sometimes of bad. The arroagement of the manufacturers for keeping its quality equal are very elaborate and complete, and are the results of many years of experience and close ovservation
