keeping of the milk or its improper dilution. But not only is 

 the milk of use for children, but most satisfactory results are 

 attributed to it in the treatment of invalids and convalescents. 

 The milk is borne with astonishing ease by the stomach and 

 even when taken for a long time rarely causes nausea. 



" The fact too that the milk is used purely as such and that 

 no further effort is made to produce other dairy products 

 renders it possible almost to procure the best kind of article ; 

 this fact in itself being a guarantee for the quality of the milk. 

 The milk is delivered according to order either as pure milk, 

 unsterilized or sterilized in various sized bottles, and not only 

 is it supplied to the city itself, but likewise to the suburbs. 

 The advances which have been made in the sterilization of milk 

 render it easy at the present time to supply a milk which will 

 keep pure for a great length of time and can therefore be sent 

 by railway or post to almost any distance. That the sending 

 of this milk may be done without danger to the quality, 

 is proven by the following interesting experiment made some 

 time ago. Their sterilized milk was sent on a five months' 

 journey to Australia and thence back to Hamburg, and on 

 being examined, its quality was found to be excellent at the 

 end of that period."

We were received by the general manager who first showed 

 us the extensive offices then conducted us to the magnificent 

 church capable of seating 1,000 people. The organ is said to 

 be a very good one ; the stained glass windows and the ap- 

 pointments show every evidence of wealth and refined taste. 

 From here we passed to the theatre immediately in rear of 

 the church and about the same size, furnished with all neces- 

 sary paraphernalia, and in rear of this we were shown a lecture 

 room, recreation hall and meeting room ; we now passed into
