Philadelphia. It was college OF which
nobody knew anything. It's charter had
been amended frequently, and it had neither
college buildings nor faculty. The notlce
Of 4 motion to repeal the charter started a
hunt for it, and after diligent pursuit it was
discovered to be swindliDg establishment

bile phosphate Of ammonia and magnesia.
The preclpitate subsidies rapidly, and the
remaining water isTquite transparent and

process is TN extremely simple one, and re.
quires nothing beyond an ordinary reservoir
