Murdoch Liquid Food and Suppositories Promoted for All Ages
Advertises Murdoch Liquid Food and Suppositories as universal remedies for infants and adults. Claims hospital success, dramatic weight gains after operations, and a generous refund policy if no benefit is seen from a 12 ounce bottle. Emphasizes wide usage in free surgical hospitals and summarizes benefits and safety claims.
Murdock's Liquid Food Reward Notice
A five thousand dollar reward is offered for proof that Murdock's Liquid Food contains hogs blood or fish albumen or was made from them. Counterfeit makers spread such reports to sell inferior preparations at higher profit. No medical society or hospital physicians who used it in nine years refute it, citing the same outcomes as our Free Hospital for Women with 2000 to 3090 patients and only 22 deaths.
