A Question in Many Homes The fine times
when We could all live on the fat of the land have
gone oy' perhaps never to return. Of late, the
question hsw to obtain the largest amount of
wholesome, paiatabie nourishmept at the lowest
possible price, has been earnestly discussed in
thousands OF American homes. The introduo
ton OF SEA Moss FARISE a. a national food sta
pie, solved that problem. From no other article
under the sun can the same amount Of delicious
fare be obtained for the same cost. The oustards
chsriottes' Jeiiies, puddings, DC, made from it
are mt for Juno when she banquets;" and -
ciariner Tor refining cider and other fermented
Potaoies, 1t has no equal. The SEA Moss FAR
rsE Co., who own the patent for the article, have
their central depot at So Park Place, New York,
and within twelve months they have established
aousiness OF Immense mAgnitadsand importance
