FRONT.

Bovril has layed such a conspicuous part in South Africa that it forms no in- considerable feature of the story.

Lancet has had frequent references C. E. LeMUNYON'S to Bovril in the reports of the officers of the Royal Army Medical Corps. Nearly every newspaper correspondent has had to refer to Bovril to make his story complete. Rudyard Kipling and Baden-Powel! have written their Bovril stories. Over 500 British hospitals and similar public in- stitutions use and prescribe Bovril, not beef tea, bút Bovril.

The reason is not far to seek. Bovril is ancurnisher as well as a atimulant. It contains the albumen and fibrine, the. sustaining properties of the beef. It is this fact, together with its absolute purity, that commends Bovril to physcians and scientists, and proves in practice what it demonstrates in analysie.
