    TRANSFORMER AND VACUUM PAN. “Thatched House Club, St. James’ Street, S.W. “ Dear Sir, November 15 th, 1886. “ In the course of conversation with a friend,, a fortnight ago, your name was mentioned in connection with your Food. I may here mention that on the 3rd of last May my wife died, leaving me with seven children; the youngest then twelve weeks old. From the day of her death until the ist of this month the infant began to sink to such a degree that he was almost a skeleton; his arms were no thicker than the handle of a knife; his face resembled a skullj his eyes were sunken, and in fact he was scarcely alive. The doctor assured me that there was no hope, but remembering your Food as mentioned by my friend, I purchased a bottle, with the result that the following Saturday on seeing the child, I scarcely knew it. His cheeks are plump j his hands the same: he is cheerful, and is rapidly gaming flesh ; he is sensibly heavier, and to put it shortly,—he is living, not dying. I feel sure that this simple statement of facts must be gratifying to you. There is the child/ Anyone may see him, a7id judge for themselves. “ I am, dear sir, yours faithfully, “A.
