MURDOCK,S LIQUID FOOD.

We wish to mention few facts in relation to this
valuable preparation. 1t is one of the articles In
our large stock that we have not been solicited to
purchase, as the manufacturers solicit business
beyond what the physicians create, and the demand
is increasing all the time. Three years ago were
selling few cases; now, in the same length of
time, selling many hundred cases. 1t is
the only Raw food Extract known, and it is render
ed as high G can be retained in solution making
a teaspoonfu equal to about one half pound of
mon food and can be retained by the stomach when
Q weak as to refuse water It is excellent in fevers
as the relieve the meats of their heating prop
critics, and combined supply sufficient noursbment
to sustain the system, which prevents relapse of
the patient. 1t is valuable for all chronic diseases,
as it will make blood faster than all preparations
known and that will cleanse the system of disease.
For infants thatd not thrive we'll their food the
advice OF the Murdoch Liquid Food Company is not
to change the food but add five to twenty drops of
the Liquid Food, and the change in few days will
warrant the abandonment of all other food (see la
bel en- each bottle). The company, to confirm its
value, have established two free hospitals, for
infants under four months old of fifty beds, and
they keep them one year free of expense except
clothing. Their object is to reduce the mortality
from cholera infantum, teething and weaving, as
there is not known for three years of child
having cholera infantum when fed with Liquid
Food or dying from it when treated by physician.
The womans hospital contains thirty beds, free
from one to six months for any case that will not
yield to treatment of their physician by his giving
a letter relative to the ease. The company do not
wish the same for publications but for reference for
the physician, enabling them to treat other patients
by the same treatment.
