PARIS, August
II had 4 COW and she gave milk
Id dress her in the finest silk;
Id feed her on the hest Of hay
And milk her forty times q DAY.

pRoF. FERNAND Vidal of the
faculty of medicine of Paris has
COW that deserves still better treat
ment. Last week he told his good
fortune with her to the grave mem-
berS of the Academy of Sciences. His
COW. like Pasteur. is not a medical
doctor. but real chemist, doing
scientific work for suffering hu.
manity.
The Vidal COW has been induced to
give cod liver oil and milk together
in one mixed drink. 1t is a natural
emulsion of the oil and milk. not un-
like artificial products that have been
used to help the human stomach alb
sorb the healing and Strengthening
oil. And Nature is kinder to mans
poor stomach than his own art can be.
Consider the helpless infants who
now look aSkance at the upIovely
spoon. the weak-lunged youths who
try to swallow the dose like good
sports. and the rheumatic aged who
shut their eyes to swallow. If Prof.
and DR.. Vidal can start a breed of
COWS like his present heroine, all this
trouble will be over. 4 cup of fresh
milk from these cod -livered cows
and there you are. The cows. too,
prosper. and. what is quite as i'm
portant, they will always be hygien-
ically At.
How does the French professor
make his COW give cod liver oil with
her milk in palatable and assimi-
liable emulsion?
1t is the same process which the
Connecticut poet. Joel Barlow. at the
close OF the American Revolution.
declared was producing the now
far-flung American girl. "Corn-fed
nymphs." he cried. and narrated the
process as ''Hasty pudding with cooling
milk" For himself he said
What though the generous COW gives me to
GUAM
The milk nutritious: Am then a calf?
No, nor a cod nowadays. for it is
the special chemistry of Prof. Widafs
COW to disguise the oil with her
milk in one natural fluid. blending
the food and the medicinal values OF
both.
Where the French doctor got his
first idea is not stated, but l tasted
long ago an accidental application

garlic grows for the consumption OF
men and women and children. They
crush the tender heads into an egg
sauce and call the result garlic
cream" One day I drank my usual
CUP of unmixed cows milk and found
that she had got at the garlic bed.
On her own, she had gone the COOK
one better and invented garlic milk.
In America I remember to have
heard a love song:
Polly, the cows are In the corn!
To which the irreverent answer
was made:
The corn is in the COWS.
The consequence which every. farm
er knew was this same Vidal process.
In California it might well result In

the first opposing doubts OF the
scientific academicians.

Said the solemn, wise academicians:
You mean you have found COW
that will take into her four stom-
achs the cod liver oil and 1t goes
through into tho milk? How many
cows can you find that will swallow
cod liver oil?
