PROF. HCMISTO.N'S ANTISEPTIC. 4
The Chicago News recently cont aimed
q long account of the great discovery
made by Prof. Ilumiston. or the invpn.
ttOn Of Il combination OF chemicals, for
preserving food from decay. We have
before us copy Of the Bosto3 Globe,
of Jan 18th, which gives Il column re.
port of the operations Of the Humis-
ton Food Preserving Company. ergan-
lied in that city, and Of experiments
which have been made and are making
with this wonderful antisrptic. Meats.
oysters, butter, cream, ETC., treated by
this method are said IT, be us sweet and
fresh after ninety DAYS rs Il" y were ~:
FIRST. Mr.. Parker certitirs that he USED
cream preserved by this method during
avoyage t" Europe and that the cream
was us sweet at the end of tie voyage
as at the beginning. a number of re-
liable busi,n sS men WHO have tested
the new process certify I" its +tficacy.
1t seems that extensive works have
been established 1T Salem for manufac.

The ADVANCE as Our r'HdprS will
Tenemhrr, gave :n account of this dis.
cOvrry several years ago. about the
time that Prof. II .miSt"n secured Il
patent. 1t has probably taken several
years Of experiments among business
men t. satisfy them sf its ct!icacy. and
ut length 4 company has been formed
cU,npnS-.l OF some of the soliheSt cApi
taliSts nf the f .st, and the new Food
Pvrsarver Will l~ put upon the market.
A revolution is promised in CONNER
cial aud dnm+stic circles. The saving
will amount to enough every year to
pay the national debt.
The Chicago News reports that Prof.
IIumiston hit upon the ilea Of his an
tiseptic white living in 'rem"te wrs-
tern vilage,' where lie was called ~,
to emln.lln IL body for shipment East.
We have made inquiry but find no one
who remembers sucl, an occurrence in
WOrt,lington. We know that the Pro-
fess"r, while living here, was 1T work
upon something in the line of an anti
septic. in connection with DR.. Craft,
and it is probable that the Doctor could
