A Germless Milk.

Van Camps is germless milk.
Every COW is inspected-so are the
men who milk them. No tubercular
cows, no diseased milkmen, convey their
infections to Van Camps Milk.
Our diaries are sanitary. Our factor
les, where the milk is evaporated, are
built without wood We make BUSH
ness of cleanliness.
Then the milk is sterilized after the
cans are sealed. Not germ of any
kind can remain in it.
Compare that with milkman's milk.
A single germ, left in milk a few
hours, breeds millions of others like it.
So there are myriads of germs in every
drop of raw milk.
If the COW is tubercular, there are
germs of consumption. If the milk cans
are washed in impure water, there are
germs of typhoid.
If the milkman is diseased, or the
dairy uncleanly, the infections are
bound to be conveyed in the milk.
A very large share of the illness in
the world is known to be due to milk.

Murder
At Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, June 29.-The laying
bare Of a most sensational murder is
promised By The authorities il, the case
of DR.. VIM. H. Wilson of this city.
who lied at his home Friday night,
after drinking q portion of a bottle of
ale which had been sent to him for
trial. An autopsy performed by the
coroner's physicians and an eXamina-
ton made of the viScera taken from
the body today. according to the coro-
ner proved conclusively that DR.. Will
son died of cyanide of potassium pois-
Oning. The ale was believed to have
been sent by a brewing company of
this city Investigation showed that
the brewing company never sent the
ale.
Unusual as are the poisoning fea-
lures of the case, more extraordinary
is the motive which the police officials
assign for what they are certain is a
murder. Though Wilson had been lv-
ing for more than II years in the
house where he drank the fatal pos
ton, he never put out physicians
sign and was not known in general
sense as a practitioner. Withall he had
large clinetelle, made up mostly, the
police say, officials of prominent wo-
men.
The police officials have learned. they
ailege, that DIR. Wilson attended during
"a fatal illness member of the family of
a young man who will he charged with
being the poisoner. The death. it is alleg-
ed, caused the young man to brood until
he could TO longer contain himself when
he sought to put an end to the ply sician' 5
practices by sending him poison rather
than go into court and have his family
history exposed to the world.
