Medicaf science makes temporarily

In London, New York and Chicago. the

proof it may be accepted as true. SAM

aseptic surgery, the acquaintance with
food values, the development of a
scientific nursing and the control of
germ enemies are achievements
known to everybody. Medical practice
has simplified itself at its own pc
cuniary cost, while 1t has never
faltered in promoting the investiga-
lions which result in the diminution
of its earnings. To medical science
and practice we can bow with respect

incessant, their intelligence lavishly

reduction of income. Their title to

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use SO much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste. of varying
thickness. which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
