Show Medicinal Property of Clams. I call to mind a remarkable instance of the efficacy of clams as a curative of internal disorders. A young woman well known in the theatrical profession some years ago came home to the metropolis to die, she having contracted gastric trouble while sojourning in tho tropics. At the time of her arrival home in New York she was fearfnlly emaciated and could not even digest Liebig's extracts. All she could seem to assimilate at all was the juice she could suck from very rare broiled beef. To condense my story, her people were persuaded to let her have clam juice. It happened luckily that she was very fond of those bivalves, and through judicious nursing in rime she recovered her health, and always attributed at-tributed it, in great part, to the clams.
