INVALIDS WHO LIVE ON MILK.

Utmm6a,omn%m OommmM•Wt IkON. There ii a colony of invalids on Thimble islands, off Br am ford, Conn., who have quit eating', and are partaking' of a new cure—plain milk. It ia said to hare effected two remarkable curea—one a case which scientists were unable to cope with. There are aine in the colony, and each individual declares himself greatly benefited by the remedy, says a New Haven correspondent of the Chicago Tribune. Aa far aa can be learned, Philip H. Robinson, register of the Catholic unirersity, at Washington, D. C, formerly of New Haven, is the discoverer of the medical properties of milk. Mr. Robinson has suffered a great many years with a nervous disease which specialists have been unable to benefit. Because, as he says, he was tired of everything, including eating, he determined a little more than a month ago to forego solid food and live on milk. The success of his experiment has (more than surprised him. In the month that he has lived without solid food of any kind he has gained eight pounds in weight and his nervous disease has disappeared. He- drinks ten quarts a day, a glass at a time, at intervals of half an hour. He declres that he will never eat again. Another disciple of the milk cure is Camillus H. Oatman, professor at Williams' college. He suffered with chronic kidney trouble, was induced by Prof. Robinson to try milk, and, having gained six pounds in weight, believes himself cured.
