BOVININE

is most successful because BOVININE supplies
absolute and perfect nutrition.

It not only stimulates, but completely feeds the
new born blood cells, carrying them to full maturity.
It increases the leucocytes and thereby most
powerfully retards pathological processes.

As a food and nutrient it is ideal, requiring little
or no digestion, and being at once absorbed and
assimilated.

For starving anæmic, bottle-fed babies, its results
are immediate and most gratifying, as it is a ready
alimentation as soon as ingested, and never causes
eructation.

It will be found equally reliable for nursing
mothers, affording prompt nourishment and
strength to both mother and babe.

In typhoid fever and all wasting diseases it may
be administered per rectum, and will sustain the
strength and support the heart without need
for recourse to alcoholic stimulants.

Records of hundreds of cases sent on request.

Accidents Prevented. The rule of many physicians is to administer Dioviburnia in teaspoonful doses, four times a day, one week before the time for periods, during the last three months of gestation. Experience has convinced them that Dioviburnia not only prevents miscarriage, but also facilitates parturition. To obtain satisfactory results, great care should be taken to avoid substitution.

Catarrh of the Stomach.-"I find Eskay's Food preferable to any other food I have tried for breakfast, and of late have been taking nothing else. My stomach digests it without any difficulty and I speedily feel its nourishing effect with no feeling of weight or distress of any kind, which has so often followed some other foods." -Dr., Mass.

MR. CHARLES C. OVERTON, of the Brooklyn Times, suggests a simple measure for the relief of hiccoughs. Expel all possible air from the lungs very quickly, then inhale very slowly, but steadily, puckering the lips, so as to leave only a pin-hole opening. When the lungs are full, the arms are raised, the chest thrown out, and, we trust, the hiccoughs are gone.
