QNOWDEN'S PATENT DRESSED COFFEE^ RENDERED MORE WHOLESOME FOR USE—A very important improvement in the article of Coffee having been discovered by us, for which we have obtained Her Majesty's Royal Letters Patent, we submit the principle to your attention.The process of dressing, we cannot urge too strongly on your notice. After the Coffee is purified and roasted, it passes into a Cracking or Crushing Apparatus; from thence it goes into our Patent Dressing Machine, by which means we entirely remove from the internal part of the coffee all that fibre or pith encircling the heart of the berry, which may be easily seen by breaking it between the finger and thumb, and examining it. This fibre or pith has always, up to the time of our Patent, been ground up with the Coffee; and when ground, being in such fine particles, and of a light floating tendency, is the great cause of the difficulty of fining or clarifying it.The following Testimonial is from Dr. URE, the celebratedProfessor of Chemistry.“24, Bloomsbury square, London, Nov. 27th, 1847.“ Having carefully examined the Patent of Mr. Robert Snowden, for improvements in treating and dressing Coffee, I have much pleasure in'expressing my highest approbation of it. He first of all purifies the berry, then roasts it slightly, so as to detach the coarse fibrous pellicles from its surface, also the chaffy pith of the centre, commonly called the wing, a light tough fibre, which, after grinding, is apt to pass through the filter, and cannot be separated by fining, but when swallowed creates irritation of the gullet and stomach. The removal of this pith is a most valuable part of this invention; and, joined to his other improvements, will enable Mr. Snowden to produce from average berries, a whoIeBomer and more delicious Coffee than any now in the Market.“ANDREW URE, M.D., F.R.S., c., Professor of Chemistry and Analytical Chemist.”This Coffee will be retailed in its dressed Btate, deprived of all its internal fibre, ready for grinding or already ground for use, in any quantity, or packed in 31b., 61b., and 121b. canisters, for the convenience of families, or sending in the country.R.
