The committee wish TO call special atten-
ton to the valuable dietetic preparation
exhibited by Mr.. Mann S. Valentine called
:. Meat Juice" The extract made from
beet is, in their opinion, superior to any
other similar preparation. 1t contains a
far larger proportion of The nutritivc prin.
ciples of meat than Liebie's, and is put up
in more convenient and portable form.
AS Virginia preparation, it deserves more
particularly our commentator, and we
would recommend that Il gold medal be
awarded.
