concerned the conflict has been raging
FOR at least fifty years, while the milk
consuming public have been taking their
milk as Of old, straight, or with a little
whisky, egg, or sugar, and as is usually

mercies Of the COW than in the hands

beginning to get sick and tired of the
continual chickering's Of such testimony,

fluid TO help pay for the sign, Doctor
of Milk" forgetfUl Of the fact that we
have been charged for years with doctor
ing milk, although Their not under the
protection of the law.
