Various forms of medicated food have
been suggested at times. such as laxative
raisins for children, etc, and the manufac-
ture of these is comparatively simple. Of

be assimilated more readily and with less
disturbance to the system than the various
salts of iron formerly in vogue. Robert
has discovered a method for causing hens
to lay eggs rich in iron. and in time. no
