    REASONS FOR PRESCRIBING Fairchild's Pepsin. It is the most active, gives the greatest value for the price asked. One grain will digest more albumen than will a grain of any other pepsin made. We do not care by whose test, what the proportions of albumen, water, and acid, only let the conditions be the same for all. It is positively guaranteed to be permanent. It will not get soft or sticky, or deteriorate in value, because it is not a peptone. It is free from all the well-known characteristics of peptone. It is not made by a patented or pirated process. If you prescribe pepsin in scale or powder, and it becomes sticky, you may be sure that it is not Fairchild's. Investigate the matter, place the blame where it belongs. There are pepsins made to sell under the title of scales—products which are inferior and dissimilar to Fairchild's pepsin in scales. They are peptones made by a patented process, and sold under cover of a title first and properly used only by Fairchilds to describe their original true pepsin in the form of scales. The druggist is told, They are just as good as Fairchild's. If Fairchild's is not specified, put in mine. But claims and pretensions, however colossal, cannot make peptones permanent. There is no soluble or peptone pepsin equal in activity to Fairchild's, none which will keep in all weathers and all conditions as Fairchild's will. FAIRCHILD BROS. & FOSTER,
