" Be Sure You are Right, then Go Ahead*" — We are in 

 receipt of a circular from the Trommer Extract of Malt Co., in 

 which Dr. J. E. Clark, of the Michigan Medical College, De- 

 troit, Mich., states that Maltine (Reed & Carnrick's) is " almost 

 inert as a digestive agent," and adding that Trommer's extract 

 u is immensely superior." To this wholesale charge, Messrs. 

 Reed & Carnrick reply in a circular just at hand. They give 

 the testimony of Prof. A. B. Prescott of the Univ. of Mich., 

 Prof. Win. Roberts of England, Prof. Chittenden of Yale, Prof. 

 Haines of Chicago, and many others, to prove that Maltine has 

 at least twice the digestive power of Trommer's Malt. It is a 

 scathing rebuke to the author of the first circular, and will 

 carry conviction to every fair minded man that thus far Maltine 

 heads the list. 



Some of the cuts for the articles on " The Vorticellag " and 

 " The Microspectroscope " were lost on their way from the 

 engravers to this office; hence the non-appearance of these 

 articles in this number.
