sweet pure Milk was put in clean brass kettles stand

time, sufficient TO accomplish the coagulation of the
casein. 1T was then passed through metal filter
into large copper kettle when it was again m0der-
ately heated by steam, and then transferred by ex

We need only add in full corroboration Of the
above, that all physicians who have given the Con-
