There was very pleasant affair at odd
Fellows Hall on Tuesday evening last, the
occasion being the public installation of the
officers of s. c. Earl Post G. A. X. The
members Of the post had beautifully dec.
grated the room with portraits of Col. Earl
after whom the post was named, Gen Ran
som, Gen Logan, Gen, Oglesby, and Capt.
Thos Clark. Besides the portraits there
wasa tasteful display of national colors,
and two or three stacks of arms suggestive
of the days past when the members found
these warlike symbols more useful than
ornamental. There was "A liberal attend.

at so'clock the sentinels were stationed and

Fl ON ne Neao York Pharmaceutical Journal, Dec.
"a, 1884.
During a visit to Boston month ago we devoted
an hour to call on Mr.. A. L. Murdock, that we
might satisfy ourselves more fully on some of the
points we desired to know about the Liquid Food
referred to in our pages on several occasions. We
visited the establishment and saw much of the pro-
cess, its preparation, and putting it in shape Tor
distribution on its errand of mercy. Cleanliness
scrupulously deserved in every step of the pro-
cess the method is in strict accordance with science
and sound principles; and the product is in every
respect what is claimed for it as thoroughly rep
resentatve nutritious food, of properties heal
ing and nourishing than others.
A look through the hospital satisfied us that its
merit in restoring health to the puny foundlngs
der the of that institution is not overstated,
for saw some that were apparently in splendid
condition, who when admitted were puny, sick, de,
filed with corruptive sores, and thought beyond
help. Their only treatment was "Murdock's Liquid
Food and they babe fair to obtain robust health
as the most favored.

velous This article should never be forgotten
when such remedy is available or can be nsed with
propriety.

THE VALUE OF
MURDOCK'S LIQUID FOOD.

Few realize the amount of suffering that exists in
city as large as Boston. The population increases
faster than the accommodations of all of our many
hospitals. This is especially true of the surgical
wards for female internal operations The deicien-
cy is SO great that there is not bed empty in any
hospital and it has been for several months, with
applicants sufficient to fill them for months come
Two of hospitals have each refused one hundred
applicants, which would fill all their beds for
six months, provided they were all empty today.
The Murdoch Liquid Food Company have added a
third house to their Free Hospital for Women and
Infants, Office Is Causeway street, and have as
signed two wards with more if needed, for internal
operations. They offer their beds to any physician
who may want bed for private patient and they
can attend and operate on them and charge their
patient for the operation. The company will take
any patients build them up if exhausted for an
operation, and then keep them after the operation
until restored sufficiently to return home, free of
expense Their object in doing this is to offer the
physicians of the United States the facilities of
private house. which the physicians cannot now
command. no other hospital will grant such priv
ileges, and their hospital has more home comforts
than hospitals in general, the wards contain from
to eight beds; and also to shol0 the vGtue Of
God, which their liquid food u.s. condensed and free
from iS0LbLe matter qOch enables them to life
g0heR all other foods and treatments fail.
And when other foods are avail
able, they can show that they can
with their Liquid Food built up q
patient i'm half the tiEEie usually
required.
