TIME-WORN PRINCIPLES 1EAPFIRMED
Chicago, June 22.--Followig jg the re
port of the Platform Committee presented
to the National Democratic Conyention last
evening. Thelleb&te and the amendments
offered and adopted will be found in the
acconnt of the proceedings:
Sectioh 1 The representatives of the
Democratio party of the United States In
Katlonal Convention assembled, do reaffirm
their allegiance to the principles or the
party as formulated and exemplified by the
long and Illustrious line of Its predecessors
in Democratic leadership from Madison to
Cleveland; we believe the publio welfare
demands that these principles be applied to
the conduct of the Federal Government
through the aocession to power of the party
that advocates them; and we solemnly de
clare that the need of a return to these
fundamental principles of a free popular
government, based on home rule and indi
vidual liberty, was never more urgent than
now, when the tendency to centralize all
power at the Federal capital has become a
menace to the reserved rights of the States
that strikes at the very roots of our Govern
ment under the Constitution as framed by
the fathers of the Republic
Sectiok 3 We warn the people or our com
mon country, Jealous for the preservation
of their free Institutions, that the policy of
Federal control of elections to which the
Republican party has committed itseir Is
fraught with the gravest dangers, scarcely
less momentous than would result from a
revolution practically establishing mon
archy on the ruins of the Republic. It
strikes at the Xorth as well as the South,
and injures the colored citizen even more
than white; it means a horde or deputy
marshals at every polling place, armed with
Federal power, returning boards appointed
and controlled by that authority, the out
rage or the eleotoral rights of the people in
the several States, the subjugation of the
colored people to the party In power, and
the reviving of race antagonisms now hap
pily abated, of the utmost peril to sarety
and happiness of all: a measure deliberately
and justly described' by a loading Repub
lican senator as "tho most infamous bill
that ever crossed tho threshold of the
Senate."
Tim Fores Bill Strongly Denounced.
Such a policy, if sanctioned by law, would
mtin the dominance of a self perpetuating
oligarchy of officeholder?, and t he party first
entrusted with its machinery could be dis
lodged from power only by an appeal to the
rirht of the people to resist oupression
which is inherent in all self governing com
munities. Two j ears ago this revolutionary
policy was emphatically condemned by the
people at the polls: but in contempt ot that
verdict the Republican party has defiantly
deolared in its latest authoritative utterance
that its success in the coming elections will
mean trie enactment or the ""force" bill and
the usurpation of despotic control over
elections in all the States.
Believing that the pieervat!on of Repub
lican government in the Unltea States Is de
pendent upon the dereit of this policy of
legalized force and fraud, we Invite the sup
port of all citizens who detire to soe the
Constitution maintained in Us integritv
with the laws pursuant thereto, which have
given our country 100 j ears of unexampled
properit: and we pledge the Democratic
party, if it be entrusted with nownr nnt
only to defeat the "force" bill, but also to
relentless opposition to tho Republican
policy of profligate expenditure which, m
the short space of f o years, has squaadei ed
an enormous surplus and emptied an over
flowing treasury, after piling new burdens
of taxation upon tue already overtaxed
labor of tho country.
SivCTiOJr 3 We reiterate the oft-repeated
doctrines of the Democratic party that the
necessity or the Government is the only
Justification for taxation, and whonevera
taxis unnecessary it is unjustifiable; that
Rheu Custom House taxation is levied upon
articles ol any Vind produced in this coun
try, the difference between the cost of labor
here and labor abi oad, u hen such a differ
ence exists, rully measures any possible
benefits to labor, and the enormous addi
tional impositions of the existing tariff with
crushing force upon our farmers andwork
lngmen, and lor the mere advantage of the
fen whom it enriches, exact from labor a
grossly unjust shale of the expenses of the
Go eminent, and we demand such a re
vision or the tariff as w ill lemove these in
iguitous inequalities, lighten their oppres
sions and put them on a constitutional and
equitable basis.
professing thepollcy of reserving the publio
land for small holdings by actual settlers,
has given away the people's heritage till
now a few rioh and non-resident aliens, in
dividual and corporate, possess a larger
area than that or all our farms between the
two seas. The last Democratic administra
tion reversed the improvident and nnwlse
policy of the Republican party touching tho
public domain, and reclaimed from eorpora
tlons and synlcates, alien and domestic and
restored to the people nearly 100.000.COO acres
of valuable land to be sacredly held as home
steads for our citizens, and we pledge our
selves to continue this policy until every
un: 01 iana so uniawinuy neiu suaii i re
claimed and restored to the people.
Skillful Handling or the Silver Plank.
Section 7 We denounce the Republican
legislation known as the Sherman aot of
1890 as a cowardly makeshift fraught with
possibilities of danger in the future which
should make all or its supporters, as well as
its author anxious for its speedy repeal.
We hold to the use of both gold and silver
as the standard money of the country and
to the coinage of both gold and silver with
out discriminating against either metal or
charge for mintage, but the dollar unit of
coinage of both metals must be of equal in
trinsic and exchangeable value or be ad
justed through International agreement or
by snoh safeguards of legislation as shall
Insure the maintance of the parity or
these metals and the equal power of every
dollar at all times in the markets and in the
pavments of debts; we demand that all
paper currency shall be kept at par with
and redeemable in such coin, we insist
upon this policy as especially necessary for
the protection of the larmors and- laboring
classes, tho first and most derenseless vic
tims or unstable money and a fluctuating
currency.
Section 8 We recommend that the prohib
itory 10 per cent tax on-State bank issues be
repealed. .
SrCTioj. 9 Publio office is a puDlic trust.
We reaffirm the declarntlon or the Demo
cratic Convention of 1876 for the re lorm of
the civil service, and we call for the honest
enforcement of all laws regulating the same.
The nomination of a President, as in the re
cent Republican Convention, bv delegations
composed largely or his appointees holding
office at his pleasure, is a scandalous satire
upon free popular institutions and a start
ling Illustration of the methods by which a
President may gratify his ambition. We de
nounce a policy under which Federal office
holders usuro control of party conventions
in the States, and we pledge the Demo
cratic parry to the reform of these and all
other aouses which threaten individual lib
erty and local self-government.
The Policy for Foreign Relations.
Section 10 Tho Democratic party is the
only party that has ever given the country
a foreign polioy consistent and vigorous,
compelling respeot abroad and inspiring
confidence at home. While avoiding en
tangling alliances; it has aimed to cultivate
friendly relations with other nations, and
especially with our neighbors on the Ameri
can Continent, whose destiny is closely
linked with our own. and we view with
alarm the tendency to a policy of irritation
and blustor, which Is liable at any time to
confront us with the alternative of humilia
tion or war. We favor tho maintenance of a
navy strong enouzh for all purposes of
national defense and to properly maintain
the honor and dignity of the country abroad.
, Section 11 This oountry has always been
tho reluge of the oppressed from every land
exiles for oonscienoel sake and in the
spirit of the founders of our Government we
oondemn the oDpresslon praoticed by the
Russian Government upon its Lutheran and
Hebrew subjects, and we call upon our Na
tional Government for the interest of Jus
tioe and humanity by all just and proper
means, to use Its prompt and best efforts to
bring about a cessation of theso cruel perse
cutions in the dominions or the Czar and to
secure the oppressed equal rights.
We tender our profound and earnest sym
pathy to those lovers of freedom who are
struggling for home rulo and tho great cause
of local self-government in Ireland.

IRELAND'S HOME RULE
Leaders Issue an Address to Their
American Sympathizers.
GLADSTONE'S COURSE APPROVED.
Redmond's Followers Come in for a Good,
Sound Scorching.
SALISBURY'S SUCCESS HEAHS DEFEAT
Lokdok, June 22. An address has been
issued to the friends of the Irish cause In
America, signed by Justin McCarthy,
Thomas Sexton, Johtf Dillon, Timothy
Healy, "William O'Brien, T. P. O'Connor,
Arthur O'Connor, David Sheeby. William
Abraham and Michael Davitt The address
is as follows:
The coercion Parliament will be dissolved
in a few days and the general election
which will follow will deolde the fate of Ire
land for the preeent generation. The creat
prize of national self-government, lor which
tne Irish race has made incalculable sacri
fices during a long course' of years, is
within our trasn. Home rule for Irelend
Is the Issue , upon which 'the general
election will be fought, and to whloh
all other questions have been by common
oonsent subordinated. There Is not a
shadow of a reason to suspect that Mr.
Gladstone's ardor in the "home rule" cause
has abated, or that his fidelity to his en
gagements remrdtne the Dowers and attri
butes or the future Irish Parliament has
been in the lest degree shaken.
Within the present week he has given re
newed proor that he regards home rule as
the paramount object of his remaining
days. Xo home rule bill could by any possi
bility be forced through the House of Com
mons which will not command the full as
sent and approval of the Irish people.
Gladstone's Sneeesa Means Home Kale.
The snecess of Mr. Gladstone's polls will
therefore mean an Immediate and generous
measure of sell-government Tor Ireland.
The success of Lord Salisbury would mean
certain destruction of the hopes of Ireland
for the lifetime or the present generation,
and a new term or coercion, depopu
lation and despair for our country.
We have reason to entertain tho fullest con
fidence that the verdict of the British
masses will incline to the side of liberty for
Ireland. The ancient curse, domestfo dis
sension, alone can now stand between our
country and a decisive home-rule victory at
the polls. '
The representatives of an overwhelming
majority of the Irish people have zone to
the utmost limits of concession to tne min
ority In -their anxiety to save tbelr own
cause from the scandal and peril of a con
flict between brother Nationalists at such
an hour as this.
At the time of Mr. Parnell's death those
who had supported Mr. Parnell were pub
licly Invited to rejoin the majority of their
colleagues, and thus reconstitute a united
liish party.
REFUSE TO RATIFY.
Piatt "Republicans .Won't Knthnse TJnrfl
. They Hear From Harrison They Don't
Propose to Have Their leader Turned
Down by the Administration.
Aibany, N. Y., June 22. Special
The "Republicans of Albany eounty posi
tively refuse to enthuse over' the recent
nomination of Benjamin Harrison at Minne
apolis to foe their standard-bearer, and all
attempts to hold a genuine ratification have
failed.
This week a Harrison man went aronnd
with a paper which called for a ratification
meeting, and which he asked all leading
"Republicans to sign. To his astonishment
he found it a difficult task to get signatures.
Some put him off, others refused point
blank, r
Finally he asked the cause of such a gen
eral disinclination to sign the call tor a
meeting, and one of the Piatt Bepublicans,
who represent what little there is left of
the "Republican organization in Albany
county, said: "It is this: Neither I nor any
of us will sign your call until we are as
sured that the Harrison leaders don't in
tend to turn down Mr. Thomas C. Flatt in
this State. "We are still for Piatt, if Blaine
is out of the race, and while we will sup
port Mr. Harrison, will take no active steps
toward ratifying the nomination till we
hear from headquarters, and, are assured
of Mr. Piatt's continuance in his present
position." i t
This attitude of the Piatt men all over
the State has probably led to the delay
everywhere noted in the local ratification
of the choice ot the party's delegates at the
Minneapolis Convention. r

But in making reduction In taxes, it is not
proposed to Injure any domestic Industries,
but rather to promote their liealtUy growth.
From the loundation or this Government,
taxes collected at the Custom House have
been the chief source ot Federal revenue.
Such thej must continue to be. Moreover,
many industries have come to rely upon
legislation for successful continuance, go
that any change of law must be at every
step legardful of tho labor and capital thus
mvoled. The rnces of relorm must Do

tate of Justice.
The minority report on the tariff plank,
which strikes out all the foregoing from
"section 3," is us follows, reading between
the brackets:
We denounce the Republican protection
policy J.S a Iraud the labor of the great
majority or the American people for the
benefit of the Sew. We declare It to be a
lundamental principle or the Democratic
part that the Federal Government has no
constitutional power to impose and collect
tariffdutics except for the purpose of rev
enue only, and we demand that tho collec
tion of such taxes slmll be limited to the
necessities of the Government when hon
estly and economically administered.
We denounce the McKuilev tariff ln-ir-
enacted by the Fifty-first Congress as the J and the best government.
uuiimuaiiDg airouuy oi Class legislation
We appreciate the efforts of the present
Congress to abate some ol Its most pernicious
effects in the direction of free raw materials
and cheaper manuractuted goods that enter
into general consumption; ana we promUe
Its repeal as one ot the beneficent results
that will follow the action or the people in
Intrusting power to the Democratic party
Since the McKinley tariff went into opera
tion there ha e been ten reductions ol the
w ages of the laboring men to one Increase.
We deny that there has i een any increase of
prosperity to the country since the tailfl
went into operation, and we point to the
dullness and distress, of the wage reductions
and strikes in the iion trade as the best
possible evidence that no such prosperity
nas resulted Iroin the McKinley act.
Wo call the attention of thoughtful Amer
icans to the fact that aftei 33 years of re
strictive taxes asainst tho importation of
lorcign wealth, in exchange for our agricul
tural surplus, the homes and farms or the
country have become burdened with a ie.il
estate mortgage debt or o er $2,500,000 000 ox
clusiveot utlother foims ot indebtedness
that in one of the clnet agricultural States
or tho West there appears a real estate mort
gage debt averaging S1G5 per capita of the
toial population: and that similar condi
tions and tendencies are suownto exist In
the other agricultural exporting States. We
denounce a policy which fosters no indus
try so much as it does that ot the Sheriff.

Section 4 Trade interchange on the basis
ofreciprocal advantages to the countries
participating is a time-honored doctrine or
the Democratic faith, but w e denounce the
sham reciprocity which Juggles ''with the
people's desire for enlarged foreign markets
mid freer exchanges by pretending to estab

countries that ate also agricu'tural, while

combination, w hich are de&igned to enable
capital to secure more than its uat share of
the Joint pi oduet or capital and labor, a nat
ural consequence of the prohibitive taxes
which prevent the free competition, which
is the life of honest trade, but .we believe
their worst evils can be abated by law. and
we demand the rigid enforcement of the
Jaws made to prevent and control them, to

show to be necessary.

construction of the Nicaragua Canal and its

we are of the opinion that Congress should

national honor and publio taith.
Section 17 Popular education being the
only safe basis of popular suffrage, we
recommend to the several States the most

bills for the admission 'into the Union as
States or the Territories otSew Mexico and

ot all the Territories having the necessary
population and the resources to entitle
them to Statehood, and while thev remain
Territories we hold that the officials ap
pointed to administer the government of
any Territory, together with the Districts of
Colombia and Alaska, should be bona fide
residents of tho Territory or district in
which their duties are to be perrormed. The
Democratic party believes in home rule and
the control 6r their own affairs by the peo
ple or the vicinage.
4fction 11 We favor legislation byCon-
f;iessand State legislatures to protect the

tho Republican party, and particularly the
Republican Senate, for causing tne defeat or
measures beneficial and protective to this

The proposal was rej noted with lnsnlt and
contempt. Finding it Impossible to reunite
the party, we endeavored to save the ooun
try from tho speotaole ot a bitterly con
tested general election by offering to
adopt any reasonabe method of as
certaining in what number of con
stituencies Mr. .Redmond's followers were
In a majority, and we were willing to
recommend that In suoli constituencies
their candidates bo arcepted without a
contest. All our efforts in the dlieotlonof
conciliation were met with insult and mis
representation and the repeated declaration
that Mr. Redmond's friends would have no
union on any terms with the majority of
tneir countrymen.
Under such circumstances no Dower on
earth could Induce tbelr constituencies to
re-elect men so deeply pledged against
National unity. Even if It were possible to
coerce the Irish constituencies Into accept
ing them it would not be, humanly speak
ing, possible to pass the home rule bill Into
law In a Parliament wherein the
Irish National causa is represented
by two rival and con flic tins parties. Men

with the Orange landlord.
Aid Aslced From Americans.
In the face of such tactics it only remains
for the Irish people now to decide between

our countrymen in America to en
able the Irish constituencies topronounce

oruer upon our siue, ana witu a weignt of
authority sufficiently overpowering to

We stand in need of Instant generous help
to meet the enormous expense of thegeneral
election and to secure that Ireland shall be
represented In the coming Parliament by
a strong and united Irish party with un
questioned authority to formulate the de
mands of the Irish Nationalists.
To our ever faithful American friends and
allies, we. In this emergonoy. appeal for
aid with all the more confidence because we
are convinced that to strength
en the hands of the Irish party

to crown the labors and saorlfloes of our
race by the achievement or home rule with

General Warner Says tHe Senator Is a
Traitor and His Influence Is at an End
Great Opportunity lor a Third Party
Candidate.
General A. J. Warner, of Ohio, passed
through the city last evening bound for
"Washington. He had left the Democratic
Convention in disgust, and was steering for
a place where his feelings wouldn't be har
rowed by political turmoil. "The office
holders were on the perch In Minneapolis,"
he said, "and Wall street is int the
saddle at Chicago. The millionaires cap
tured both conveutions. and whichever man
wins, the moneyed men have finished their
work They will spend no more cash fight
ing iree silver. Cleveland will be nom
inated, and then the people in both parties
will revolt. There hasn't been so much
feeling among voters since 1860. If the
People's party will put a representative
man in the field, their candidate
stands a good show of carrying
a number of States. I expect to see
the eleotion thrown into the House, and
then, of course, the Democrat will be
chosen. Gresham is in sympathy with the
Third party movement, but I don't think
on account of domestic afflictions that he
would accept He is a brainier man than
either Harrison or Cleveland, and he has
the respect of the entire country. As soon
as the Democratic Convention is over the
silver States in the West will send dele
gates to Omaha. Colorado will lead the
procession, and on interesting jime can be
expected. The money question must be
settled before all others.
"Gorman played the traitor in fino style
at Chicago, and he has injured himself
greatly. I have no further use for him, and
X have a better opinion of Hill for making
an open and honest fight I know person
ally that Gorman encouraged the Hiilbooin
with the hope that ultimately the nomina
tion would come to him. He was too cow
ardly to face defeat, and made some sort of
a deal with Whitney. The combination of
Whitney, Gorman and the Indiana delega
tion will elect Cleveland. But I heard Gor
man denounced by all kinds of Democrats.
His treachery has killed him."

Franklin, Pa, June2a rSptctall The
meeting of the State People's party took
place this afternoon. About 100 delegates
were present from about two-thirds of 'the
counties iu the State. A. G. Moore, of
Clarion county, was elected Permanent

Colonel E. B. McCombs, of New Castle;

Mr. W. M. Terry, who has been in the

Bemedy gives "better satisfaction than any
other cough medicine T have ever sold."
There is good reason for this. No other

certain a preventive and cure forxroup; no
other affords so much' relief in cases of

COUNTERFEITERS IN THE TOILS.
They Had Placed Over SI 00,000 of Bogus
Money In Circulation.
San Francisco, June 22. Special A
big counterfeiting gang was unearthed here
to-day by the arrest of two' of the leaders.
They were captured at work in rooms
where all the paraphernalia of making bogus
coin were found. The gang, composed of
about a dozen men, has been in operation
for over 12 months, and in that time must
have put over f 100,000 worth of counterfeit
money into circulation. About 12 months
ago a sack containing 800 of the bogus dol
lars was found hidden in the sand at .North
Beach.
The find was made by a- number of wharf
rats and the pieces were of, such excellent
imitations that they was no difficulty in
passing them. Since then Secret Service
Agent Harris has been on the trail of the
counterfeiters, but though he has often
captured Uieir money iu the express office,.
ne nas lauea to get receivers or makers ot
the coin and bills. Becently the counter
feiters turned their head to lottery tickets
and made big money. Detectives finally
located the counterfeiters in rookeries on
Telegraph Hill and the place has been
watched day and night for three weeks in
order that the criminals might be captured
in the act of counterfeiting. This was done
to-day and evidence sufficient to convict
both was secured. It is thought one will
turn State's evidence and thus lead to the
capture and punishment of the entire gang.

"Bishop Fhelan must have been misin
formed regarding the finding of Father
Mollinger's will," said Attorney Mueller
last night, "as the will has not been filed,
and I have heard nothing further of it"
Gregor Meyer, administrator of the estate
for the relatives of the deceased priest
physician of Mount. Troy, had heard noth
ing further regarding the will and said he
feared one would never be found. "I am
taking the necessary aotion," he continued,
"toward distributing the estate as directed
by law, just as though the will was not in
existence."
In speaking of the possibility of Father
Mollinger having secreted the valuable
document in some pecnliar or out-of-the-way
place, Attorney Mueller said the healer of
Mount Troy was as'eccentric and singular in
certain ways as other men of similar promi
nence most frequently are. "I do not
know to what an extreme he
carried this eccentricity," continued Mr.
Mueller, "but I have observed it upon many
occasions. This is not strange considering
the great mental burden carried by Father
Mollinger, and I have never been surprised
at what he did.
It Would Not Affect the Belies.
The will supposed to have been left by
Father Mollinger was one he frequently
spoke of to me. This document was drawn
np a score of years ago by N. P. Feder
man, who left this earth many years ago.
It could not afleot the disposal of the sacred
relics in any degree, as the will was made
.long before the relics were obtained,
consequently it is obvious that
Father Mollinger did not make any dispo
sition of them. I frequently talked with
him regarding drawing up a new will, bnt
for some reason or other the matter was
postponed from time to time, and as he did
not express any desire to do it,I did not feel
like insisting. When he was seized with
his last illness there was some trouble exist
ing on acconnt of the refusal by Bishop
Phelan to consecrate St Anthony's shrine
and I suppose there was some ill feeling
and, furthermore, believe that Father Moll
inger did not make a new will from pique.
"The inheritors of the estate are a brother
and sister in Holland and the children of
the former, whether or not they will be dis
posed to give the relics to the church I can
not say as I have but iust commenced a cor
respondence with them relating to the
property and have not touched upon the
other matters at all."
A New Torker After the Estate.
Register Conner yesterday received a let
ter from a probable claimant to the estate
of the late Father Mollinger. The claim
ant, however, is a cousin, and under the
intestate laws of this State the cousins
could not participate if there are anv broth
ers or sisters or their children. Th'e letter
is as follows:

BEAT BLAINE EIGHT iEAES AGO.
A Welshman Claims That He Wag the Cause
of the Statesman's Defeat,
A little man with a florid face covered by
two weeks' growth of whiskers that un
mistakably told the tale of the condition of
his pocketbook, and with clothes of the
shabby-genteel appearance, was the center
of an interested group in the corridor of the
Southern yesterday afternoon.
"That little fellow," explained one of the
group to a St Louis Globe-Democrat reporter,
"defeated Jim Blaine for President of the
United States. It may sound preposterous
to make such an assertion of a man
of his present get-up, but it is a fact,
nevertheless, and I'll tell yon how
he did it His name is Owen, and he
is a Welshman by. birth. In Oneida county,
New York, there- is a large colony of
Welsh containing nearly 1,500 voters. A
Welshman is a Republican for the same in
explicable reason that an Irishman is a
Democrat Up to the Blaine-Cleveland
campaign ot 1884 the Republican managers
had always counted on a solid Welsh
vote of 1,200. One day in October
of that year this man Owen called
at Democratic headquarters in New
York City and applied for a job to go uo
to Oneida county and stump the Welsh
community for Cleveland. He described
what he could do' so intelligently that the
Democratic managers thought it worth their
while to risk (500 on him, and then sent
him out among the Welsh as a campaign
orator. Well, he went, he saw and he con
quered. He was an entirely new sort of
bird to the Welshmen. The idea of
having a man speak to them in their own
twisted tongue and advocate the Democracy
caught them, and when elec
tion day came 900 of them marched
up to the polls and plunked in Cleveland
tickets, ams margin would have elected
Blaine. Owen tells me that he has been
roaming around the West for the past year
or two, getting odd jobs at newspaper work
foj a livelihood. He has just closed a con
tract to again enter the New York cam
paign as a Welsh orator, and the next time
I see him he will wear a Prince Albert and
a silk hat."

Twenty-nine years ago this week the
North was becoming thoroughly alarmed
over the movements of Lee. In some quar

capital of Pennsylvania, was the objective
point of the Confederates; and in others,
that Pittsburg was the first prize that they
hoped to win. In the meanwhile the Army
of the Potomac was on the alert, and was
holding itself In readiness to assail the gray
clad columns as soon as they should begin
to unmask their designs. It was, all in all.

feTer which left her unable to partake of the least
article of solid food. For months she was confined
to her bed, and lived on milk and hot water with a
thin gmel made of brown floor. Existence in this
way was kept cp for a year, but she grew grad
uallr weaker, for nothing fa the way of food
would agree with her debilitated stomach.
"In March, 1831," said Mrs. 'Wilson to yonr cor
respondent yesterday, "a friend told me of lac
tateafood. I tried it and since then up to now it
has been my sole food. I do not exaggerate in the
least when I say It is the only thing between me
and death by starvation. For I have tried all of
the so-called invalid foods, but nothing agreed
with me and gave me strength l'fcc lactate! food. I
have gained la strength ever since I commenced
taking this food,
"Perhaps," continued Mrs. Wilson, growing
enthusiastic, "somtf may doubt this statement,
bat I can give all the proof required that ir I Lad
not found lactated food I should have been in my
grave ere this: at least, that Is what the physicians
tell me."
The physicians in Columbus recommend this food
highly and agree in stating that It Is the most
readily digested and the most nourishing diet that
can be given to those whose digestion Is weak,
whether they be Infants or Invalids, young or old.
