the Use III MILK.

Dr., Crosby, Of tho Bellevue liospi'
tai, pronounccs milk an article Of diet
which oil persons may use, under
nearly oil conditions, There are those
who say that they conno' take milk
that Il makes them bilious, etc" but
no declares that this is not true. a
person who Is sick may take milk
with the greatest possible advantage,
because IL contains In a torn easy OF
assimilation all the elements essential
for maintaining nutrition. u Is the
natural ailment OF tho young animal.
and certainly answers good purpose
for the old animal, provided II is used
properly, aud not poured into a stom'
ach already over filled, us though II
had ~ itself no substance or richness.
New milk, hc does not hesitate 10 say,
may be taken, as far as disease Is con-
ccrncd, Ia nearly every condition.
Perhaps it will require the addition
of n spoonful or two Of line water,
The addition OF q little salt will often
prevent the aiier-feeling Of fullness
and "wind in the stomach" which
some complain OF. marked acidity
oil the stomach Is present, then per-
haps n little genelian may he requisite
to stimulate tho stomach somewhat (;
and it may he necessary TO give It in
small quantities and repeat 1t often {;
but ice-cold milk can be put into q
very irritable stomach, if given in
small quantities and at short intervals,
with the happiest efforts. 1t is used
in cases OF fever which formerly it
was thought to "feed,' and when
scalded it has a desirable effect in
summer complaints.
But il is an Article OF diet for peo-
pie in health, and who wish to remain
in that happy condition, that milk
should be most appreciated. For the
midday lunch OF those whose hearty
meal comes at night, or for the supper
of those who dine at noon, nothing is
so good. The great variety and en-
ccllent quality Of prepared cereals
give wide choice Of food to use with
milk. Bread with berries, in their
season, or baked sweet apples,) boiled
rice, cracked wheat, oatmeal, hulled
corn, homlny, taken with n generous
bowl of pure cold milk, makes the
best possible light meal in warm
weather for children, and for all adults
who have not some positive physical
idiosyucrasy that prevents them from
digesting fit. The men of firmest
health and longest'life are the men Of
regular and simple habits, and milk is
standard article in such a diet.

Awarded highest premium at Windsor
County Fair in 1879, In competition with
the Cooley Dreamer, and awarded premi-

The cream Is taken off first and Is free
from sediment. The cream and milk may
be drawn off without lifting the can from
the tank. The milk Is ventilated through
the top of the can, throwing off animal
heat and odor. Milk is cooled from the
centre as we'll as the outside Of the can,
and there are no weights needed to hold
the can down. Send for circulars.

bearing the piece Of composition we re-

slowed away in a corner. wherd. in the

that it was an original sermon, the

thought it proper to publish the pro-
