were conspicuous in the procession, as
was also float drawn by prancing steeds
and containing thirteen young ladies
representing the States of the Confeder-

the occasion and tenderly reminded the
old veterans of "the flag of nation that

SCrOfula

Any doctor will tell you
that Professor Hare, of
Jefferson Medical College,
Philadelphia, is one of the
highest authorities in the
world on the action of
drugs. In his last work,
speaking of the treatment
OF scrofula, he says:
1T is hardly necessary to state that cod-liver
OIL Is the best remedy of all. The oil should
palatable."
He also says that the
hypophosphites should be
combined with the oil.
Scott's Emulsion of cod
liver oil, with hypophos-
phites, is precisely such a
preparation.
