Hens And Iron

A French physician has invented a method by which he says iron can be given in large doses. Hens, he noticed, have powerful internal organs. They can digest considerable quantities of iron and then rendcr it back, throngh the albumen of their eggs, in a forni which is easily digested by the weaker stoniach of mankind. So he feeds his hens witli what he calis "a very absorbent salt of iron," mingled with grains of wheat, and they lay eggs extremely i'ich in iron already digested.
