THERE ARE ONLY TWO PREPARED FOODS THAT WILL NOURISH A CHILD AS PERFECTLY AS HUMAN MILK. THEY ARE LACTO-PREPARATA CARNRICK'S and SOLUBLE FOOD. The former is an all-milk Food, closely resembling human milk in character, composition and taste, and designed for infants from birth to seven months of age, and the latter is composed of equal parts of Lacto-Preparata and Dextrinated Wheat, and designed for the remainder of the nursing period and for Invalids. We make the statement at the head of this page with a knowledge of the general opinion of the Profession in reference to artificial feeding, and a full appreciation of what our statement implies. It is based on personal observation and ac tual test in hundreds of cases, and we hope that no Physician will doubt this statement without verify. ing it by making a trial of our Infant Foods as now put up in hermetically sealed cans. Samples will be furnished gratui tous if you desire to make a comparative test. *KUMYSGEN, Or Kumyss in powder form for making Liquid Kumyss in less than one minute, by simply dissolving the powder in water. More nutritious and more palatable than any Liquid Kumyss. There is no Food that equals it in all forms of Indigestion, Pulmonary Affections, Fevers, Vomiting in Pregnancy, Cancer of the Stomach and all conditions of the digestive organs where no food or even water can be retained. In Phthisis, it will increase weight and strength far more rapidly than Cod Liver Oil. KUMYSGEN is incomparable as a Food where easy digestion, high nutrition and palatability are desired. A pound bottle of KUMYSGEN will be sent any physician prepaid on receipt of fifty cents, which is about one-third its retail price. KUMYSGEN is now put up only in bottles holding 20 ozs. and 5 lbs. KUMYSGEN is much less expensive than ordinary Liquid Kumyss to prescribe and its keeping qualities are perfect, while the latter spoils in a very short time. *KUMYSGEN, when first prepared, was not relished by some patients, but, as improved, commencing with batch 200, it will please the most delicate palate.

Among remedies which are always in demand are alteratives, laxatives and tonics. We have a most eligible and therapeutically satisfactory line of these, as our facilities for securing the highest quality of drugs are unequaled. We guarantee every unopened package from our laboratory absolutely as represented. Among these classes of preparations we may commend especially as tonics, Coca Cordial, Pepsin Cordial, Esencia de Calisaya, Weld's Syrup of Chloride of Iron. Of the alteratives, Syrup Trifolium Compound, Syrup of Hydriodic Acid [2 per cent.]. Among laxatives we have many formulæ. As a general laxative Cascara Sagrada stands easily first. Many of the laxative formulæ meet special indications. History, literature and all experience indicate that Medication has to play its part, and that Nature cannot alone restore lost function. The duty of the modern doctor to the patient is, in prescribing, to specify drugs the purity of which he can vouch for. The pharmacist of to-day appreciates the necessity of keeping in stock salable specialties, unprotected by patent or proprietary interest in them, to meet the requirements for pure palatable products. We invite correspondence from the profession concerning our products, and will afford all information regarding them desired. PARKE, DAVIS & CO., DETROIT, NEW YORK, KANSAS CITY, AND WALKERVILLE, Ont.

It is readily reached by the Fourteenth Street Railway, the cars of which run almost to the door. The building is very large and is as perfect in structure and arrangements as a knowledge of sanitary science and of the requirements of such an institution can ensure. It accommodates about thirty patients. Electricity in all its forms, baths, douches, massage, inhalations, nursing, etc., are provided as may be required by patients, in addition to such other medical treatment as may be deemed advisable. A largé Solarium for sun-baths and exercise in cold or inclement weather and heated with steam in winter, is constructed on the top of the main building.

A Gymnasium, containing suitable apparatus for exercise of varios kinds, is also a feature of the Institution. The summer temperature of Columbia Heights, on which the Sanitarium is situated, is from 6° to 10° lower than it is in the city proper and the building, constructed as it is, of brick, stone and iron, with a perfect system of ventilation, is always, even in the warmest weather, cool and comfortable. The National Zoological Garden and the large Columbia Park, recently established by Act of Congress, are in the immediate vicinity of the Sanitarium.
