FOR INFANTS AND INVALIDS.

WHEY

JUNKET

WHEY

Made with FAIRCHILD'S Essence, of Pepsine.

Milk freed from its caseine and containing all its
other constituents in solution, milk sugar, fat, soluble
albuminoids, mineral salts, etc. Admirable as a tem-
porary food for infants in cases where whole milk
is likely to undergo fermentation, owing to disordered
condition of the digestive tract.

In these cases, whey is found to afford adequate nu-
trition and rest to the digestive functions and thus
presents a most favorable adjunct to medicinal
treatment.

JUNKET

A delicious, jelly-like curd from milk, acceptable
and digestible for patients who are tired of fluid
foods and giving the sense of substance so grateful
to convalescents.

FAIRCHILD BROS. & FOSTER,

82 & 84 Fulton Street, NEW YORK CITY.

N three of the four corners of a certain village street reside three men, whom we will call X, Y and Z. Both X and Y "know a prayer that will stop any kind of bleeding in man or beast." Some time since, a gentleman was driving along with a valuable horse, which, stepping upon a piece of broken glass or crockery, cut a gash in its foot that began to bleed profusely. The owner of the horse stopped right in front of the houses of X and Y. X came out and said he would "stop that bleeding in no time," and began to "say" his magic "prayer" over and over, like a Chinese prayer-mill; but, alas, the hæmorrhage continued. Then Y made his appearance and said his prayer in the same manner-both prayer-mills keeping up a joint clatter. Still the red blood flowed. At this juncture Z appeared upon the scene with turpentine and cloths. He tied the leg above the wound pretty tightly, applied the turpentine to the wound liberally, and soon the hæmorrhage was arrested. X now cites the case in proof of the potency of his "prayer." Y, more modest, does not know for sure whether it was his prayer or the turpentine that did the work. He is ready to admit that the turpentine "may have helped along." Z alone "keeps mum! "
