"As a last resort the doctor directed the nurse to take a slice of the FERRIS BONELESS BACON and try it out in the frying-pan, and while the liquid fat was still warm I was to take at first a teaspoonful dose. The experiment was an admirable success, and the dose was enlarged to a tablespoonful at a time. This BONELESS BACON fat was as clear as any olive oil I have ever tasted, and was not at all difficult to take. I am now a well man, fully recovered, and the medicine that cured me was the DELICIOUS FERRIS BACON." The Ferris Hams and Bacon are not only suitable diet for invalids, but furnish most appetizing, healthful, and invigorating articles for the daily menu in every well-regulated family. We trust all the housekeepers who read this page will have their tables regularly supplied with the FERRIS BRAND. A FERRIS AXIOM: You can have the Ferris Famous Hams and Bacon regularly if you say you will. Any grocer or market will furnish them rather than lose your trade. THE CHAS. H.

FOR DESCRIPTIVE CIRCULARS, ETC., ADDRESS, THE POPULAR FRENCH TONIC. The Original and Standard Coca Preparation. LONDON, 230 Oxford St. MARIANI & CO., 52 West 15th Street, NEW YORK. A MONTHLY MAGAZINE. THE PURPOSE of this publiCATION is to so present the results of the various in. quiries which have beer, and which may hereafter be made for the preservation of health and the expectations of human life, as to make them most advantageous to the public and to the medical profession. The resources of sanitary science are inexhaustible. It will be a chief object of the SANITARIAN to awaken public attention to the extent of the field, and to the facts indi cating how beneficently it may be cultivated. This will be done by showing the amount of ill-nealth and mortality from preventable causes of disease; by pointing out the na ture of those causes and the way in which they operate; by showing that such causes are removable, and by exhibiting improved health, longevity and happiness as the fruits of their removal. The laws of physiology and general pa、hology will be kept in view, as the basis of health; by the observance of which, hygiene constitutes a department of science which the medical profession can advantageously share with the public, or apply to individuals according to circumstances. The detail of these relations will involve questions of manifold significance, and many of them of the utmost importance to human health. "The practical questions of State Medicine: the health of armies and navies, marine hygiene, quarantine, civic cleanliness, water suppiy, drainage and sewerage. Sanitary architecture: light, space, warming and ventilation. Climate and domicile: endemic, epidemic and hereditary diseases. Occupation, exercise and habits; food and beverages, in all varieties of quality and quality. In short, whatever thing, condition or circum. stance is in rapport with, or antagonistic to, the perfective culture of mind and body will be considered legitimate matter for the SANITARIAN to discuss, advocate, condemn or reject at the bar of health. Advertisements will fall under the same category, noo will be admitted of questionable character in this regard. In fulfilment of its mission, the SANITARIAN asks kindly consideration and assistance from all who would aid in the protection of the most precious of gifts divinehuman life."-1873. As the SANITARIAN has been hitherto, it will continue to be in the future. Devoted to the promotion of the art and and science of sanitation, mentally and physically, in all their relations: by the investigation, presentation and discussion of all subjects in this large domain, as related to personal and household hygiene, soil and climate, food and drink, habit and exercise, occupations, vital statistics, sanitary organizations and laws, everything promotive of or in conflict with health, with the purpose of rendering sani tation a popular theme of study and universally practical.
