Washington, May 25.-The secont

The results of the experiments from
a scientific standpoint will not be de

least, in the treatment has had a dele.
FERROUS effect.

The first experiments under DR..
Wiley we're to determine the effects OF
boracic acid in the treatment of food.
The second series of experiments. be-
igun on January l last, was for the
purpose of tracing the effect of other
chemical personalities.
The treatment evidently was not
beneficial to the young men who vol

The food itself was the best that
