One of the many testimonials we have received is one from Dr. Arthur P. Ginn of Omaha, which reads, " I used Bovinine in several cases of diphtheria, and was success ful with the cases. This to me is sufficient evidence of its value, no other food being used during treatment, except the milk used as vehicle for its administration." Bovinine being a food product, made by a special cold process from lean beef, is easy to take, quickly assimilated, speedy in its life promoting properties, is invalu able as a life-giver when it is necessary to maintain strength to carry a patient over the crisis of a disease. In diphtheria and other throat troubles where it has become impossible to take nourishment by the mouth, Bovi nine has sustained life for weeks, administered as an injection. WILKES-BARRE.
