' Having in our official capacity as mem
bers of the Plymouth Hospital Committee
been asked to test and prove the effective
ness of many different articles to be used
as disinfectants in sicVroHms and as pre
ventives of infectious fevers, report that
Darbys Prophylactic Fluid has been thor
oughly tested during the Recent Typhoid
epidemic in this place. It proved most effi
cacious in staying the spread of the fever.
F. H. Armstrong, S. M. Davenport,
J. A. Opp; O.'M. Lance,
ThoscKerk. James Lee, Jr.
Several of the leading merchants of Ply
mouth, who had cases of the fever in their
families, who are personally known to mt.
used Darbys Prophylactic Fluid, to their
entire satisfaction and have given the best
of testimonials to that effect. It is a most
effective preparation.: Itjshould be used
in every house as a preventive from Ty
phoid Fever, or in any case where a dis
infectant is needed. I would recommend
it to everyone, having had a good oppor
tunity to know its excellent dualities.
