Cincinnati, Ohio, Feb. 1S.-Dr. W. II.
Amick, the eminent consumption spe-
cialist Of this city, has created a ma
tional sensation by his decided oppo-
sition to the order of the hospital au-

that it is unjustifiable and brutal. He
has, through his attorneys, entered

presents a formidable array Of scien-

theory with ridicule. A hot news

when these skins are taken into the stom-

skin for the protection of the fruit from
the multitude of germs which are ever
ready to attack it, as is evidenced when
the skin is bruised or broken in any way.
The microbes az once begin their work of
decay, and the fruit is unfit for food. Chill
