other day nurseries take children over is months,
preventing many poor and worthy women from be-

it, which those having children Is months old can
do, as there is in every home some woman that Is
willing to care for a Child Is months old for ten
The children will be received for single day or
can be left daily from A. NJ. to z. M. They will
have the same care, food and treatment as the in
fants receive that remain year in their home, all
free of expense. The object of the company is to
show that infants can thrive on their Liquid Food
well out of their hospital in it. which they
if the mothers have the of their babies nights
The value of Murdock's Liquid Food for well or
feeble infants cannot illustrate better than by
few cases where We know lives have been saved by
its use.
A babe when born weighed 1s1 lbs and so feeble
that its life was despared Of as it would not retain
any food given until one drop of Liquid Food was
given it in water at feeding and improved rap
idly that milk substituted for water in less than
ten days, and when six months old weighed
pounds and in as good health as any child could be.
Another child weighed three pounds at birth; with
one drop in its milk in five weeks weighed seven
pounds.
From the Nes0 York Pharmaceutical Journal, Dec.
"a, 1884.
During visit to Boston month ago we devoted
an hour to call on MIR. A. l.. Murdoch, 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 1t in shape for
distribution on its errand of mercy. Cleanliness
scrupulously observed 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
resentative nutritious food, of properties heal
| ing and nourishing than others.
look through the hospital satisfied us that its
merit in restoring health to the puny foundings
der the care of that institution is not overststed
for we 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.
| Other cases we have seen n adults quite as mar
velous. This article should never be forgotten
when such remedy is available 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 decien-
cy is so great that there is not bed empty In any
hospital and it has been so for several months with
applicants sufficient to fill them for months to come.
Two Of our hospitals have each refused one hundred
applicants, which would fill all their beds for over
six months, provided they were all empty today.
The Murdoch Liquid Food Company have added
third house to their Free Hospital for Women and
Infants, office 10 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 a bed for private patient, and they
can attend and operate on them and charge their
patient for the operation. The company viii take
any patients, build them up IL too 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, as no other hospital will grant such priv
ieges, and their hospital has more home comforts
than hospitals in general as the wards contain from
one to eight beds and also 70 sho0 The Uatue Of rtc
God, 90hich their liquid food u.s. condensed and free
from soubLe matter which enables them 10 life
acken 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 a
patient in half the time usually
required.

awful Doom.
OF the hundreds of accounts of remarkable crues
wrought by DIR. KENNEDY'S FAVORITE REM
EDY, none have appeared so purely astonishing as
the following: The persons mentioned are among
the most highly respected in the city OF Troy, and
the story told by the father will prove interest
TROY. NY.
Dr. Kennedy, Rondout, N. Y.
DEAR SIR: My daughter was afflicted with SO
we're growth ofFungus. To remove it we had re-
sorted to almost every remedy and consulted the
most prominent surgeons and physicians DIR. -,
of Troy, said that surgical operation would be
necessary, but fearing fatal results / hesitated.
Some of the physicians claimed that it was caused
by one thing and some by another. The Fungus
was prominent and dis6gured her looks. Having
heard of DR.. Kennedy's FAVORTTE REMEDY
working SO thoroughly on the blood determined to
try it, if this medicine could do what doctors
had failed to do and surgeons had hardly dared to
undertake l can say in truth that the result OF
this trial was the complete cure OF my daughter OF
this dreadful malady. DR.. Kennedy's FAVORITE
REMEDY alone effected it. We used nothing else,
for other things had completely failed. My daugh-
ter to-day enjoys vigorous health and to Favorite
Remedy alone, is the credit due. My wife also was
very poor in health due to some liver difficulty with
which she had suffered long time until she be-
came very much reduced in flesh. A trial of DR..
Kennedy's Faverite Remedy has resulted in the
complete restoration of her health, which she had
not enjoyed for years. she NAG gahed IN nesn anu
| is DUE ENTIRELY TO DIR. KENNEDY'SF FAVOR
TIE REMEDY. AS for myself being engaged In
| the grocery and commission business, which makes
it necessary for to test the quality OF different
articles like butter, etc., my sense OF taste and my
stomach were seriously injured. Everything seemed
to nauseate me- and fearful of dyspepsia in its most
severe form, tried DIR. KENNEDY'S FANORITE
| REMEDY. The first bottle afforded immediate re-
lief and from that day to this can say that Favor
| lite Remedy has restored me to perfect health.
| These are facts which claim prove that Dr. Ken
nedys Favorite Remedy is the best medicine In the
world for those afflicted with the above difficulties.
If any in the city of Troy doubts the truth of
these statements let him come to me ana Will
prove them. L have recommended Favorite Rene
| dy to hundreds and with the same good results.
| Yours. ETC.. WILLIAM WINDSOR,
