To the Editor Of the Daily News:-Sir-In
your interesting resume of the financial result
accruing to DR.. Tanner you mention present
of 10000 dolls: from Liebig and Co., and this
information having given rise to many in
quiries to my company. will you allow me to
state that the firm mentioned of Liebig and
Co., has no connection whatever with this
company, which would have no earthly reason
to reward Dr. Tanner, but on the contrary,
would be disposed to deprecate to the utmost
all similar attempts of fasting, which would
necessarily lead to reduction of the con-
sumption of our extract Of meat The fact
that the consumption of our extract has in
creased ten-fold since the existence of this
company would seem to prove that the public
by no means intends following DR.. Tanners
example.-I have the honor to remain, Sir,
your obedient servant, CHARLES RoTTER, Sec
retary.- Liebg's Extract of Meat Company
