Information that we all
want. For the benefit of
ourselves or our friends:

OuTStIfeS OT our lTIeIluSs
To know that all the troubles Of
Spring complaints can be relieved
quicker by MurdOck's Liquid
Food than by AN other prepara-
tons known, as IL will make
blood faster, and new blood will
cleanse the system OF disease.

equal 70 8 pr. CT. I'm weight and
strength weekly.
The result obtained at our Free Surgical Hos
pital for Women-l14 beds and every bed free,
including operaton-c0nhrm our claim, as there
have been between 1000 and 5000 PATIENTS rep
resenting 80 distinct classes of operation, with
year Dnring the snmnPper nontbs most ~ me
surgical hospitals for women in the United States
are closed, the surgeons being unwilling to
but by the use of Murdock's Liquid Food and Sup
posit0res, before and after an operation, we build
up the patient SO much as to make it safe to
operate, and giye.a rapid recovery, shown
BY the last z months work, our
operations numbering about 500,
with but two deaths.
The women who have been operated on have
suffered from to "a years, and were under med
zeal treatment most Of the time.
Many of them, brought In on their own beds,
some in such condition from septic assesses and
similar troubles that we had to burn their beds,
Dy TeindlnlnlnB ~ or ~ Gays tney were restored
TO health. We have had some OF the severest
cases known in surgery The women recover
their health and strength and are restored 90
usefulness; all gain In weight some cases As
pounds in Is weeks, 20 pounds in weeks, So
pounds in 81 weeks, this case had 8 operations.
Our women are In the hospital an average OF 8
days prior to and of 26 days after operation. To
make this average, one remained IA months, one
months, several months, etc.
Our patients come from all sections, from the
Provinces, and from the United States as far
South as Texas, West as Nebraska North as
Minnesota. and the Middle and New England
States, all of whom we are proud TO refer to, as
many of them had been treated or rejected by
other hospitals, and We pride ourselves on having
not only the largest but the best equipped surgical
tary, heating and ventilation facilities and Is so
acknowledged by all surgeons and physicians that
visit us. In Massachusetts our Liquid Food is
household bottle for the good it has done the
women OF Massachusetts that have been operated
on. Their friends see and realize that 1t must do as
much for their families, old and young, that are
suffering and need local treatment, as new blood
will cleanse the system of disease.
We will forward our Annual
Reports, also Essays read ON our
Liquid Food before the American
Medical Association and British
Medical Association, etc., IL ad-
vised.
No Essay was ever read ON Raw
Food Preparations before any
society except ON Murd0ck's

THE EXPERIMENTAL STATION.

The university trustees held tecret
session here this evening to arrange for the
presentation of Athens claim for the ex-
pertinent station before the board of dlrec-
tors for establishing station, which meets
here tomorrow. So far as can be learned,
Athens will make no special bids, relying
upon their constructiol of the law to locate
the station there, as we'll as the fact that
there is stati N at Athens already estab-
lished and equipped.
The contest for the experiment station
opened up tonight with the arrival of a
number Of the board of directors and dele
cations favoring Macon, Newman and other
points. The advocates of Bibb county for
the location, head d bv Congress nan
Blount, are putt s in good work and are
hopeful of winning the prize. Coweta
county has a strong delegation here.
Prominent among them are c ngressman
Grimes, Representave Atk lnson, Col.
Brewster OF Newman and Senator
johnson of Columbus. Newman will put in
a big bid. and if she loses the station it " i'll
not be for lack Of enterprise aud liberality
on the part of her citizens. The general
drift, however, seems TO be in favor of
Macon, and the opinion seems TO be that
Bibb will get it. OF course everything is
speculation tonight. The real tug will
come when the bids are opened tomorrow.
