D., Director Imperial Medical College, Tientsin, China: "In cases of Infantile Diarrhoea, which weakens and debilitates a child rapidly, I have found VALENTINE'S MEAT-JUICE a great stimulant and quick restorative of vitality. Three years ago, when an epidemic broke out in Tientsin, ordered my staff to try your MeatJuice, which justified all expectations, having been satisfactory to patients and physicians alike." I Henry N. Read, M. D., Prof. Diseases of Children, Long Island College Hospital, Brooklyn, N. Y.: "I have long used VALENTINE'S MEATJUICE, especially in Diseases of Children and esteem it highly.
