says, "for the last to years l have tested bv
carefully inquirog into the past history of patients
mostly suffering from some uterine or ovarian
disease, or some affection incidental to childbed,
and these conclusions have stood the test of this
long extended inquiry have to state the import
ant conclusion that continuous insufficency of
foo1, or what may be called chronic starvation
more or less Intense in different cases was found to
have existed almost universally. Consequently I
have naturally been led to consider chronic starya

ut is generally admitted, by authorities on the
subject of diet that nitrogen is the most essential
OF all foods, and that a certain amount should be
taken daily. 1t appears that the Elimination in
quantity of food most frequently affects the nitro
gen. Meat is the article of diet which, as rule is
the source of the greater part of the needed amount
of nitrogen, for in England, at all events meat il
the popular article of food and in cases of chronic
starvation, we mostly find the quantity of meat
taken is exceedingly SMALL"

We quote from our Hospital re-
ports of cases such as DIR. Hewest
mentions.
Our ladies known by letters as each bed is let
tered. Mrs X. was treated out of the hospital she
being SO reduced from typhoid fever which left her
IN relapse that Der life was despaired of by all the
ply siciaps who held consultations on her case She
was unable to take 20, 10 or drops of LIQUID
Food, but did retain drops every hour in a little
milk for L. US, then had so far recovered as to
enable her to come down stairs and is gaining dali
~, and able to sit up all day-all accomplished in
less than three weeks.
What produces relapse in fever cases, Prof r.
Demmie. in his investigations found that the red
corpuscles are greatly reduced even in the first
twelve TO fortyeight hours of fever in some cases
equal to one halt their number"
We all k1aop that person IN a relapse can talk
ana thsn6 Which IS labor. 1t is also fact that the
brain consumes one-fth of all the blood and it is
only onef ortieth of the body showing the cause of
many having relapse in fever. and 40 few recov
erii from it.
Murdock's Liquid Food, given in fever. prevents
relapse, as it makes blood faster than all prepare
tions known, and supplies the wastes that the dis
ease makes.

for year; no appetite; lost MANY pounds: no mem
SO for four months. In less than thirty DAYS she re-
