"As lactic fermentation serves so well to arrest putrefaction in general, why should it not be used for the same purpose within the digestive tube?"-Metchnik off. "The action of Kephyr in preventing intestinal putrefaction depends on the lactic acid bacilli which it contains."-Metchnikoff. "Metchnikoff believes that the inherited structure of the human large intestine and the customary diet of civilized man are specially favorable to the multiplication of a large number of microbes that cause putrefaction. The avoidance of alcohol and the rigid exclusion from diet of foods that favor putrefaction, such as rich meats, and of raw or badly cooked substances containing microbes, do much to remedy the evils. But the special introduction of the microbes which cause lactic fermentation has the effect of inhibiting putrefaction. By such measures Metchnikoff believes that life will be greatly prolonged, and that the chief evils of senility will be avoided."-P. Chalmers Mitchell. Kephyr is sterilized cow's milk that has undergone special fermentation through the introduction of a mushroom, called Kephyr-seed, or Dispora Caucasia, and a yeast Saccharomyces Cerevisiae. One of these ferments affects the lactose and produces lactic and carbonic acids and a small amount of alcohol: the other acts on the albuminoid substances, on the casein in particular, which latter undergoes partial precipitation and digestion producing both peptones and propeptones. Physicians are prescribing Kephyr with great benefit in cases of Anemia, Chlorosis, Tuberculosis, Kidney and Liver diseases and affections of the Stomach and Intestines. Professor Hoppe, M.D., of Basel, Switzerland, says "Kephyr is milk and wine at the same time." It is specially beneficial in building up the strength after acute illness such as Typhoid Fever, Inflamation of the Lungs, and all infectious diseases, and after grave operations. Kephyr is similar to Buttermilk in taste and appearance, it is however, very different, being prepared along scientific lines, and is more nutritious as it contains all the butter fat of Whole Milk. Kephyr can be used quite freely and at any time. The following comments from Toronto Physicians are used by permission : "I have had the opportunity of ordering for several patients 'Pumer's Swiss Kephyr,' and they have found it uniformly satisfactory for the purpose for which it was prescribed. ' -Dr. W. H. B. Aikins. 37 "I have used Mrs. Pumer's 'Kephyr' in my practice with very good results. It is of fine quality and the best thing of its kind I have seen."--Dr. A. H. Garratt"I have no hesitancy in stating that 'Kephyr' is a valuable preparation. In evidence, I have recommended it twice to-day-once to a physician." -Dr. Jno. B. Hall "It is certainly a most excellent food (Kephyr) and it differs very largely from Koumis, being a different ferment. I know Mrs. Pumer and she is thoroughly reliable in this regard."-Dr. Edmund E. King. "Mrs. Pumer makes an excellent preparation of 'Kephyr.' I am able to say so, having made trial of it in my own family, and those patients to whom I recommended it were highly pleased with the article."-Dr. W. J. Wagner. We are preparing Kephyr daily at our Dairy under the direction of Mrs. F. Pumer, of Zurich, Switzerland.

Spadina Crescent City Dairy Company, Limited The First and Only Complete Edition of VOLTAIRE'S WORKS ever published in English has just been completed by the New translations by WILLIAM F. FLEMING, including the Notes of TOBIAS W by the RT. HON. JOHN MORLEY, M. P. IDESPREAD interest has prevailed in the publication of this great author's works, as it marks a new era in the world of literature. The real history of Voltaire's life and the true character of his writings have been denied English-reading people until this work was translated. Voltaire is eminent alike as historian, sage, satirist, wit, philosopher, economist, dramatist, poet, essayist, as the champion of mental liberty and the foe of in.olerance in all Its forms. His historical writings are the creation of one who was the admired friend of the Sovereigns of his day. Histories written with such opportunities gain in every way. His volumes on "The Age of Louis XIV" are by the one man best fitted to treat the Grand Monarch and his environment. "La Henriade" is the greatest masterpiece of Epic poetry ever written and the most eloquent presentation of religious toleration the world has ever known. His tragedies are the most prized Classics of France, and his Dramas have been played a hundred years. The "Philosophical Dictionary" is the best known of Voltaire's works. The writings are lucid and self-explanatory, an inexhaustible compendium of information and delightful entertainment. He was among the first great Encyclopedists. Voltaire was the precursor of a new civilization. As much credit must be given him as any man in all history for the permanent establishment of this great American Republic. There is scarcely any successful reform movement, among the many to the credit of the nineteenth cen tury, which was not either originated or pioneered by Voltaire. Voltaire will always be regarded as the greatest man in literature, of modern times, and perhaps even of all times. -GOETHE Atheism and fanaticism are the two poles of a universe of confusion and horror. The narrow zone of virtue is between those two. March with a firm step in that path; believe in God and do good. -VOLTAIRE FORTY-THREE HANDSOME VOLUMES Size 84 x 5% inches-13,034 Pages, over 160 illustrations of which 45 are hand colored.
