THE PRESS.
MONDAY MORNING, JANUARY 4.
We do uot read anonymous letters and common
cations. The name and address ot the writer are
n all eases Indispensable, not necessarily for pub
lication but as a guarantee of good faith.
We cannot undertake to return or preserve
communications that are not used.
The city limits will have to be extended if
John McLean buys a newspaper in New
Y'ork. __
New Y'ork papers are complimenting their
District Attorney on his large number of
convictions for the year. New York is still
an exceptionally good field for the gentle
man.
It is announced again that Senators Evarts
will not speak for silver. It is the duty of a
New Y'ork senator to do something more
however than keep silent. Ho ought to speak
against it.
Distinguished! men are soon forgotten.
Here is the Argus with a list of the promi
nent men who have died the past year and
nowhere in it can be found the name of
Vice President Hendricks, and yet he died
but a little more tiian a month ago.
Congress reassembles tomorrow and will
probably promptly get down to business.
The most interesting feature of the week
will be the announcement of the committees.
The constitution of the committee on coin
age will be watched with great interest inas
much as it will tend to show whether the ad
ministration or the silver meu have been
more influential with the speaker.
By reappointing Mr. William H. Bigelow
superintendent of the railway mail sendee,
the administration retains the services of an
exceedingly efficient officer, and makes certain
that the service will be conducted in a way
to reflect credit upon the postoffice depart
ment. But the Maine Democrats will not
probably throw up their hats/ in ecstacy of
joy over the selection. It was reported some
time ago that Col. C. B. Morton of Augusta,
was booked for this place.
Mr. Parnell tells a correspondent that
though his plans may be altered in some de
tails his main purpose is unchanged. He
will demand the erection of an Irish Parlia
ment fully empowered to legislate for all of
Ireland’s affairs and interests, and be satis
fied with nothing less. The opposition of the
Ulster Orangemen lie thinks is worked up
by landlords largely and will amount to noth
ing. The men who walked in the procession
at Belfast in honor of Sir Strafford North
cote were paid half a crown each. He says
there is no prospect of a compromise be
tween himself and Lord Salisbury or Mr.
Gladstone.
a lie Ohio Legislature meets to-morrow,
and immediately after organization the cases
of tiie Hamilton County senators and repre
sentatives will come up. As the Democratic
candidates have certificates they will take
part in the organization. But the career of
those of them who belong to the House will
he short. The Republicans control this
branch, and they will undoubtedly turn out
the Hamilton county men without much cere
mony. As the Democrats control the upper
branch the fraudulent senators wall probably
be allowed to retain their stolen seats. There
is little doubt but Senator Sherman will he
re-elected, though the Democrats profess
that they have concocted some sort of a
scheme th at will accomplish his defeat.
Senator Payne lias got himself into serious
trouble with the Democrats of Canton, Ohio,
by refusing to recommend for appointment
to the post office there the man pitched upon
by the local Democracy, and recommending
some one else. The hanging in effigy is hut
a small part of his punishment. A much
more serious matter is the issue of a circular
by a prominent Democrat of the name of
Donavin, alleging that Payne owes Ills elec
tion to the corrupt expenditure of money by
his son and other persons connected with
the Standard Oil Company. Among other
things Mr. Donavin says:
It is a singular fact iu the history of the State of
Ohio that they who have filled this honorable posi
tion, with one exception, liave been eminently fit
ted for it, and, what Is still more a matter of con
{'ratulation, were elected without corruption. This
ust expression compels me to meet an issue
which 1 intended to raise. You, sir, are the ex;
caption. The place you now till was not honora
bly nor honestly attained. In truth, sir, unfortu
nately for you. and still more so for the State of
Ohio, you are filling a place from which honor
would stand aghast were It asked to Assume it.
THE ARCUS AND SILVER.
Senator Frye is nothing If not aeniatlonal. In
his Boston after dinner speech he declared the
standard silver dollar “a coined lie”! Why? Be
cause it will only sell for old silver at a discount
of 20 or 25 cents off. What will a defaced or can
celled legal tender treasury note sell for? Only
for the fraction of a cent. Then why Is not that
still more a “lie”? Yet Senator Frye supported
the greenback (while that was his party's policy),
even supported the Supreme Court decision that
made the depreciated note legal tender lor the
payment of debts contracted In a sound currency
before the paper legal tenders were issued. Sen
ator Frye Is mistaken. The silver dollar is no lie.
it is just what it purports to he; authorized by the
constitution and everywhere in the United States
lawful for the payment of debts and clothed with
a purchasing power equivalent to the gold dollar.
If It Is a lie it is a legitimate lie. which pays the
laborer in gold-idolizing England, in hi-inetallic
France and in the United States. Half of the
American people don’t see a gold coin once a year.
Is it worth while to decry the money metal of the
masses of people the world over? Is it statesman
lilra1) Iu if netrinf PnrHoiirl A ro-iiu
Senator Frye did not decry the “metal of
the world over.” What he did decry was a
circular price of silver wj.th the Goddess of
Liberty on one side and a bird on the oth
er, stamped one dollar, whose intrinsic value
everybody knows is only 80 cents. He called
this “a coined lie” and he stigmatized it cor
rectly. Why, asks the Argus, is not the
greenback which, when cancelled and de
faced, will not sell for but a fraction of a
eent still more a lie? The Argus knows per
fectly well wliy. The greenback does not
purport to be a dollar. It purports to be
simply a promise to pay a dollar. The Argus
some vears ago did its best to make it a lie
by “booming” the greenback party which
advocated the issue of these notes in unlimit
ed quantities, but happily its efforts were
unavailing. The greenback is no lie. It is
just what it purports to be and the holder of
it can get a gold dollar for it whenever he
presents it at the treasury. The Bland dol
lar on the contrary purports to be something
which it is not. The Argus says “it is clothed
with a purchasing power equivalent to the
gold dollar.” Therein consists its falsehood.
The government buys eighty cents worth of
silver bullion and stamps upon it one dollar
and enacts that its purchasing power shall
he twenty hundredths larger than that of
of the money paid for it. Suppose the Gov
eminent should stamp upon a piece of sil
ver the size and weight of the ten cent piece
the words “one dollar,” and make it legal
tender for all debts, in other words clothe it
with the purchasing power of a gold dollar,
would the Argus consider that piece of silver
just what it purported to be? If it; would
then it lias become a convert to
the theories of the fiat money men
who profess to believe that it is the
stamp that makes the value, and that a piece
of paper which the government has stamped
one dollar is worth just as much as a piece of
gold, which has intrinsic value. If intrinsic
value is not an essential constituent of a
sound currency, then tlie government should
close up its mints and substitute printing
presses In the interest of economy. That is
a change the fiat money men advocate, and it
is a logical outcome of their belief.
The Argus’s President evidently does not
share its views in regard to the silver dollar.
He evidently recognizes the fact that it is not
what it purports to he. In his message he
says:
When tlie time comes that gold has been with
drawn from circulation then will bo apparent the
difference between the real value of the silver
dollar and a dollar in gold, and the two coins will
part company. Gold, still the standard of value
and necessary in our dealings with other coun
tries. will he at a premium over silver Banks
which have substituted gold for the deposits of
their customers may pay them with silver bought
with such gold, thus making a handsome profit,
Kich spectators will sell their hoarded gold to
their neighbors who need it to liquidate their
foreign debts, at a ruinous premium on silver,
and the laboring men and women of the land
most defenceless of all—will find that the dollar
received for the wages of their toil has sadly sunk
in its purchasing power. It may be said that the
latter result will he but temporary, and that ul
timately the price of labor will he adjusted to the
change, but even if this takes place the wage
worker cannot possibly gain hut must inevitably
lose, since the price he is compelled to pay for
* his living will not only lie measured in a coin
heavily depreciated and fluctuating and uncertain
in its value, hut tills uncertainty in value of file
purchasing medium will lie made the pretext for
an advance in prices beyond that justified by
actual depreciation. The words uttered in 1834
bv Daniel Webster in the Senate of the United
States are true today: “The very man of all oth
ers who has the deepest interest in a sound cur
rency and who suffers most by mischievous legis
lation in money matters, is the man who earns his
dailv bread by his daily toil.” The most distin
guished advocate of bi-metallism, discussing our
silver coinage, has lately written: “No American
citizen’s hand has yet felt the sensation
of cheapness, either in receiving or ex
pending the silver act dollars," and those
who live bv labor or legitimate trade never
; will feel that sensation of cheapness. However
! plenty sliver dollars may become they will not be
j distributed as gifts among Hie people, and if the
laboring man should receive four depreciated dol
lars where he now receives but two, he will pay In
the depreciated coin more than double the price
' he now pays for all the necessaries and comforts
: of life.
Certainly this is as strong a presentation
( of tlie evils that our silver dollar threatens
; as any Senator Frye has made. If Senator
; Frye’s speech was unpatriotic and unstates
; manlike as the Argns seems to think, then
President Cleveland’s message was uupa
! triotie and unstatesmanlike and the Argus
i should have administered a rebuke to him
i similar to the one it administers to Senator
! Frye. * __

A HAPPY OLD YEAR FOR MB. PARNELL.
N. Y. Tribune.
Of all the political leaders of the day, Mr.
Parnell has the best reason to he satisfied
with the retrospect of 1885. hjWhat the new
year will have in store for Ireland it would
be hazardous to conjecture. Butithe days ol
coercion legislation have passed, and a new
era is opening in the relations of England
and Ireland.

HELD BY A GLITTERING EYE,
Cliieago Herald.
Although Gen. Sherman pretends to live
in St. Louis he is continually saying some
thing to hurt the feelings of his neighbors.
At a Forefathers' Day meeting last week, he
observed that “New England influence is as
much needed in St. Louis as in any place on
God’s earth,’’ when it is a fact, well known
to every St, Louis man. that no New Eng
land influence can do that town any good so
long as Chicago lias its cold glittering eye
fixed on it.
SILVER MEN NOT IN A MAJORITY.
Washngton Corr. N. Y. Herald.
There is reason to believe at this time that
while, no doubt, there will be a vigorous and,
it is to be hoped, an instructive debate of the
?uestion, the majority of the House will he
ound willing to suspend the coinage of the
silver dollars, on the reasonable ground that
the policy of coining silverdollars as ameans
of persuading Europe to agree witli us upon
some measure rehabilitating silver has abso
lutely failed, and that it is proper now to try
what the other course, of stopping the coin
age, will effect. The vote for stopping the
coinage will therefore include a considerable
proportion of silver men, bimetallists, who
regard the suspension of silver coinage as a
means, and the most effective means, to force
England and Germany to some agreement
regarding silver.
NOT SO CREEN AS HE LOOKED.
A Well Planned Bank Robbery that
.‘Miscarried.
N. Y. Sun.
“It ain’t no use in saying that I haven’t
been a crooked man in my time,” he re
marked as lie leaned back against the door
and pulled his hat down. “You all know
that I’m just out of the Ohio penitentiary
after serving 10 long years for trying to work
a bank, ar.d it’s no use in me denying it.
Howsomever, there was more in that case
than the papers ever got hold of, and it will
be no harm to yarn it off.
To begin with, I was knocking around Cin
cinnati, hard up and discouraged, when an
old pal of mine conies along one day with a
soft snap. Ho had struck something to glad
den our hearts. In a village about 60 miles
away was a bank. That wasn’t so very cu
rious, you may think, but it Jwas a new bank
and the officials were a set of greenhorns.
The president was an old farmer, the book
keeper a former miller and the cashier
well, he was described as just the greenest
specimen ever brought in from the corn
fields.
My pal had ‘piped’ the bank until he knew
how everything went. When noon came the
president and bookkeeper went to dinner,
leaving the greenhorn alone. Indeed, he ate
a cold luncheon at his desk. It was a
chance if anyone came in between 12 and
1:30, and the two of us could do that cashier
up as slick as grease with any of the old
tricks.
Well, in a day or two we went up there,
and it worked like the biggest layout I ever
came across. As you entered the bank there
was an enclosed space to the right, with a
gate to enter. This was the president and
bookkeeper’s quarters, while farther along,
on the same side, was the cashier’s place, but
not divided from the other by any railing.
When the cashier was at the pay window his
back was toward the other space, and also to
the big safe. The latter stood at least 12
feet from him, against the outer wall, with
all the doors wide open.
Why, when I came to enter that bank and
see how easy it was to ‘sneak’ that safe, I
vvaa lnirl nut with acfnniuhmont Ami tl-ion
the greenness of that cashier! Why, gents,
he didn’t seem to know no more about a
draft on New York than about the complex
ion of the man in the moon, and after I had
detained him at the window fully 10 minutes
on one pretext and another, just to see if it
could be done, we went out feeling that we
had the boodle in that safe dead to rights.
The time appointed was next day noon,
and when we had seen the president and
book-keeper out of the way. my pal entered,
walked to the pay window and got a bill
changed, and then began to dicker about a
draft. I entered the bank on tiptoe soon af
ter him. The gate was open, as also the doors
of the safe, and the cashier, with his back to
me, was feeding himself as lie talked. Why,
sirs, it makes my mouth water to think of
what a glorious opportunity was before me!
I had on rubbers, and 1 slipped half way to
the safe as softly as the serpent creeps. Then
there was a growl and a rush, and a dog
about the size of a yearling steer flung him
self upon me. I went down with a crash,
and the dog held me there, but while it was
happening I heard the click! click! of a re
volver and the greenhorn of a cashier coolly
saying to my pal:
“I’m on to you, my friend! If you move
hand or foot I’ll let daylight through you!
Tiger, hold that fellow fast!”
liis left hand slid down to a button, and
next moment a bell outside was ringing a
lire alarm and collecting a crowd of people.
They came rushing into the bank by the doz
en, and, of course, our cake was done for. I
got 10 years for that little operation, and ray
pal took seven for his share. It turned out
that the bank was guarded in all sorts of
ways, including dogs and spring guns, and
that the seeming greenhorn of a cashier had
been imported from a Philadelphia bank.
He had spotted us at first sight, and had giv
en us rope to hang ourselves.”
WARD’S $3000 DINNER.
How He Manipulated Can. Grant for
an Invitation to a Swell Party.
“I see that Ward has proved a failure as a
book-keeper at Sing-Sing,” said a prominent
criminal lawyer of New York the other day,
‘‘and has been put to kicking a press. Won
der when he’ll get that hospital room?”
‘‘What hospital room?” was asked.
“Why, the room that is to be fitted up for
him as soon as you reporters quit going up
there. AVard told of it himself before his
trial. He said to Orrin Skinner of Chicago,
one of the prisoners in Ludlow street jail,
that it had all been arranged that he was to
be put at common work at first, until tho ex
citement died out, and would then be given
an easy berth in the office, and after a while
a room would be fitted up for him in the hos
pital. These favors, he said, would cost him
about $5,000 a year. The programme goes
ail right so far, doesn’t it?
“By the way, did you ever hear how AVard
attended Gen. Grant’s dinner party? It was
when the firm of Grant & AVard had just
started in business. Fred Grant happened
to mention in the office one day that his fa
ther was going to give a dinner party that
evening, and that Aranderbilt, Cyrus AV.
Field, and some more of the big guns would
be there. ‘All,’ said Mr. Ward, and nothing
more was thought of it. That evening
Grant’s door bell rang while the family and
their guests were at dinner, and Ward
presented himself in full evening dress,
with his crush hat under his arm.
‘Could he see the general for a moment
just for a moment?' The general came into
the hall. ‘Ah, mv dear general, I beg your
pardon for disturbing you, but I just stepped
in for a moment, from the opera, you know,
to tell you that 1 had a chance to make a lit
tle turn to-day—nothing to do with the firm,
but just a little outside speculation—and I
put you in. 1 closed it up this afternoon,
and your share of the profits is $3000. I
happened to have the check in mv pock et,
so I brought it over. Here it is, General,’
and Mr. Ward prepared to rush back to the
opera. The general was delighted, poor,
simple old man, and swallowed the whole
story. ‘Would Mr. AVard stay and dine?
No! Then at least he must have a class of
wine before he went away.’ Mr. AA’ard pro
tested, but finally permitted himself to be
led to the dining room, where he remained
until the dinner was over. That invitation
cost Mr. AVard $3000, but he considered it
cheap at the price. lie had made his point.”
MACAZINE NOTICES.
St. Nicholas for January is both iu point of lime
and contents another Christmas number. W. D.
Howells leads off with his long-promised story,
Christmas Every Day, and some amusing illustra
tions by his little daughter. Mrs. Frances Hodg
son Burnett follows with another instalment of
her charming serial, Little Lord Fauntleroy; Hor
aee E. Scudder contributes one opening and very
interesting chapters of his story of the life of
George Washington, there is a short Bit of Talk
for Young Folks, by Helen Jackson (H. II.); and
H. H. Boyesen writes one of his entertaining tales
of two continents, called Big Hans and Little
Hans, for which W. A. Rogers has done two illus
trations. Sophie May has a bright story about
Santa Claus on Snow-shoes; and Hezekiah Butter
worth tells how his Grandmother’s Grandmother’s
Christmas Candle repelled an Indian invasion in
colonial days. Nick Woolson’s Ride is a clever
winter sketch by Rose Hawthorne Lathrop; there
is a full-page polar bear picture to John R. Cor
yell’s sketch. The King of the Frozen North; and
Susan Coolidge’s verses, The Secret of It, tell
their own story without i he need of illustration.
There is another Ready for Business paper—this
time An Architect; Among the Law-makers con
tains a profusely illustrated chapter on the many
curiosities and points of interest about the Capi
tol; while a brief life of Richard Wilhelm Wagner
ends the From Bach Jo Wagner series.
Conspicuous among the varied features of the
January Century are the short stories. Trouble
on Lost Mountain, by Joel Chandler Harris (Un
cle Remus), is even more powerful than his long
er character novellette. At Teague Foteet’s the
scene of both being laid among the moonshiners
of northern Georgia. In the other short story of
the number, The Cloverfleld.s Carriage, by Frank
R. Stockton, the humorous motive is the desire
of a negro coachman who had left his former own
ers, iu order to make his freedom appear a reali
ty, to recover his former dignity as a trusted ser
vant of the family. Mrs. Mary Hallock Foote's
new serial of Western life, John Bodewin’s Test!"
mony, in the third part points strongly to dramat
ic situations. Mr. James’s Bostonians assumes
new and interesting phases as it approaches the
conclusion. A portrait of Verdi, the composer, is
the frontispiece, which is accompanied by an en
tertaining anecdotal paper by Frederick A.
Schwab. Ex-minister Beniamin’s second and con
cluding paper on The City of Teheran is as pro
fusely illustrated and as replete with incidents re
lating to the life of the people as the first article.
W. J7 Linton, contributes both the portraits and
the text of Some European Republicans, which
include Mazzini. In the "typical dogs" series,
John R. Wise of Virginia and John W. Munson
contribute papers on Pointers. A subject of scien
tific interest, treated iu a thoroughly popular style,
is the paper’on Feathered Forms of Other Days,
by Dr. R- W. Shufeldt, U. S. A. in his conclud
ing paper on The Lesson of Greek Art, Dr. Clias.
Waldstein treats of the education of the American
artist, and advocates general literary and scien
tific culture, as well as technical art studv. And
in an article on A French Painter and his Pupils,
a glimpse is given of the company of American
and foreign artists who receive instruction from
Carolus Duran. In the War Series we have Gen
eral John Pope’s pungent and personal descrip
tion of The Second Battle of Bull Run and the
Recollections of a Private, describing Two days
of the Second Battle of Bull Run is replete with
incident and attractively illustrated.
There is a thoroughly Christmas atmosphere
about Cassell’s Family Magazine for January. The
first pages of the magazine are devoted to a new
serial, A Wailful Young Woman, by the author of
My Namesake Majorie. Following this is a paper
on London for Londoners, by Prof. J. Stuart
jrnu nix, nmvu au auumauiv uvociijuuui ui
some of tbe by-ways of that great city; a practical
paper on the making of pastry initiates the house
wife into some of the mysteries of the kiteheu
such as the compounding of Almond Sandwiches
and Vol-au-vent; a story iu two chapters, The
Chronicles of Cardeme Manor, gives us a good
plot and a satisfactory clearing-up of a strange
case; the words and music of A Christmas Wel
come. The Family Doctor discusses the impor
tant subject of Whooping Cough. In a paper
called A Man Who Loved Nature, we have an
amusing account of the late Frank Buckland, Her
Majesty’s Inspector of Fisheries, himself the odd
est flsli iu the kingdom. An Artists’ Voyage
around the Horn, is a thrilling account of a battle
against the elements made by the good ship Chris
tiana. After this comes the beginning of another
new serial Lyndon of High Cline, by C. Despard.
The January number of the Atlantic begins with
the first two chapters of Charles Egbert Crad
dock’s new serial, In the Clouds, which shows the
same strong touch and remarkable descriptive
power that have distinguished her other novels of
Tennessee life. This is followed by a paper on
The Free Negroes of North Carolina (who were
frequent during the slave regime), by Mr. David
Dodge. Tile editor of the Atlantic, Mr. Aldrich,
has a very bright short story called Two Bites at
at aClierry. Dr. Holmes has a paper in the New
Portfolio series. A Cry from the Study, full of
pleasant reminisceuces and pungent humor. The
Political Consequences in England of Cornwallis’s
Surrender forms the subject of a thoughtful arti
cle by Mr. John Fiske. Highly interesting install
ments of the Princess Cauamassiina, by Henry
James, aud Mrs. Oliphant’s A Country Gentleman,
are also given in this issue. Glaucus, an exqui
site poem by Edith M. Thomas, lines by the late
H. H., and some verses by Julie K. Wetherill
furnish the poetry of the number.

THE MURDOCK LIQUID
FOOD COMPANY
Substantiate their claims by quoting a few
inrgical cases in their Free Hospital for
Women.
The first semi annual report of the surgical de
lartment of this institution shows that 5f> have
•eceived treatment, 3 have left soon after entering
[contrary to advice), 47 operations have been per
orraed, 37 cured, 6 improved, 8 unchanged. The
ongest time any one patient lias received treat
nent, 73 days; the shortest, 14 days; average,
21 23-01.
Murdock’* Eiqaid Food is administered
;o each patient nt tie discretion of the at
:cnding surgeons, and it is a significant
tact that iu the history of the hospital there
bit* not beeu a case in which difficulty has
been experienced in keeping the nutrition
bp to the standard, a matter which other
hospitals find great annoyance in adjust
ing.
SAVED FROM CONSUMPTION.
Mrs. W. entered hospital July 17, suffering from
lie effects of childbirth. She was weakened to
such an extent that she was unable to eat or di
gest her food; had severe cough, pain in the lungs
tnd liight-swcats. Her physician feared she was
;oing into consumption, and informed her friends
;hat unless something was done immediately she
would probably live but a short time. She was
rat on Liquid Food and a generous,diet of other
:ood. In three weeks she was well enough to bear
in operation, which was performed. Convalesced
rapidly; discharged in four weeks. Now, three
nontlis from date of operation, is in perfect
leaith.
A CASE OF INSANITV.
Mrs. C., low spirited and dejected since birtli of
rliild. several years ago, has beeu in insane asylum
race since. Examination disclosed a difficulty;
rperation performed, rapid convalesence; all symp
toms of insanity gone; cheerful and happy at the
present time, five months from date of operation
THESE CASES ARE CITED TO SHOW WHAT
MURDOCK’S LIQUID FOOD, COMBINED
WITH SKILLFUL'SURGICAL TREATMENT,
WILL DO FOR THE MANY AILMENTS OF
WOMEN.
Patients whose physical health will no
admit of nn operation enn be sufficiently
built up by the Eiquid Food iu three or
four weeks so that an operation ran take
place with safety.
Common cases can, by the use of theLtquidFood
be built up iu three-fourths the time required by
other treatment.
Our Mr. A. I,. Murdock is tlie first American
ever honored by having a ward in one of the lead
ing hospitals of London named after him. The
managers did it to show their appreciation of tlie
value of Ills Liquid Food in chrome surgical cases.
He also supports a Free Hospital forWomen, of f>0
beds, in London, for Lock Diseases, Consumption,
Intemperance. Paralyzed and Cancer cases. Tlie
beds are all occupied, and the patients prescribed
[or by some of the leading physicians of London.
Liquid Food is in general use by tlie govern
ments of tlie United States, England and tlie lead
ing governments of Europe,
— S
OF THE
LEADING HOSPITALS OF LONDON,
devoted to general diseases, have it in constant
use and acknowledge it to be the only Kaw Con
densed Food known (and much richer than it is
represented by warrant); also free of insoluble
matter, and can be retained when tlie stomach re
fuses water.
CAUTION—Eeniember that an extract adver
tised as tlie Original Liquid Food, and by other
names, is not a food, but tlie manufacturers of it
have used our trade mark, essays, hospital reports,
itc., without our authority. We have sued tlie
said parties for outraging our rights and deceiving
:he public.
The only essay on Condensed Eaw Food or Eaw
Food Extracts read before any medical association
>r society was oil Murdock’s Liquid Food.
Around eacli bottle is a pamphlet which contains
flie said essays and hospital reports.
