Yet, with a perfectly sound ancestry;
we may still suffer from all these and

1t is II great gift to have a strone
nervous system. Neuralgia. sciatica,
nervous dyspepsia, inability TO concen-

Opiates and other narcotics, dRynot
strengthen nerves; they weaken, de-
bilitate. To be sure they may quiet a
temporary pain, but the real causes
which is one of weakness, remains.
Weak nerves call for food and nerve
tonics. The hypophosphites are gen
orally acknowledged to be the best
nerve tonics. They tone up the whole
nervous system, and every part of the
body responds. Cod-liver oil supplies
valuable food to all the tissues:
while the medicinal agents which nat
urally exist in this oil exert their good
effects also. SCOTS Emulsion Is a
combination of the best cod-liver oil
and the purest hypophosphites 1t is
called an emulsion. because the oil
is emulsified or digested. Hence il is

Emulsion may not quiet pain, but one
bottle will often SO strengthen the
nervous system that no pain win be
present to quiet.
Nearly twenty-five years ago thep pro-
prietors of SCOTS Emulsion discovered
n process of emulsifying Cod-liver Oil,
so as to remove from il almost entirely
its obnoxious fishy taste and smell, and
at the same time increasing its food and
remedial properties. They found also
that by combining the Hypophosphites
with it that they added still further to
its power. Il
Since that time thousands of imita-
tions have come into the field, but the
original has never been equalled.

There are some political evils which
are seen as soon as they are dangerous
and which alarm at once as well the
people as the government. Wars and
invasions, therefore, are not always the
most certain destroyers of national
prosperity. They come in no question
able shape. They announce their own
approach, and the general security is
preserved by the general alarm. Not
so with the evils of a debaso,l coin, a de-
preciated paper currency or de-
pressed and falling public credit. These
insinuate themselves in the shape of
fallacies, accommodation and relief.
They hold out the most fallucious hope
OF any easy payment Of debts and a
lighter burden of taxation. Daniel
