5000 DEATHS A DAY,
Startling Statistics In Regard ID
Consumption.
Some Idea Also of tho Proportion Of
curos-Analysts of tho Dread
Disease.

Some Idea Also of tho Proportion Of
Curcs-Anaiysis of tho Dread
Disease.
When we visit factory where there
are the most delicate and biost danger
GUS machines, we are amazed to notice
how Indifferent the w6fkmen are to
the danger about them. Saws and
knives work rapidly, and yet no ono
seems to think of danger. Long ASSOC
citation with danger causes indifference
to it.
If the statement were made that
there was contagious disease abroad
in the land which was killing people
at the rate of 1900 day in Europe,
thirty a day in New York State, and
nearly 100000 in one year in tho Uni:
ted States, every one would be aroused
to action. Yet such u condition exists
to-day. Consumption is contagious
disease, and the above figures concern-
ing it are taken from recent reports.
But we have become so familiar with
the disease in our midst, that we do
not fully understand its terrible MAJ
turc.
Yet it Is surprising how many re-
cover from this disease. Even after
the germs of consumption cause seri-
BUS damage to the lungs, thousands
recover. AS yet, no specific is known
for the disease. The treatment con-
sists in giving aid to the body in it's
efforts to destroy the disease germs.
For two centuries, cod-liver oil has
occupied the first place in the list of
remedies. The next valuable remedies
are the hypophosphites. Some rely on
one alone, but as both are recognized
as of great value, we think it best to
combine them. Thus you are SURG
of getting every help--which the best
remedies known to medical science
can afford. In SCOTS Emulsion Of
Cod-liver Oil with Hypophosphites, the
oil is en,ulsificd, that is tho oil is
broken up into minute globules of fat:
The oil is digcsted and thus saves the
weakened body from doing this work.
What will Scotts Emulsion do for
those with weak lungs2
If taken before the germs Of con-
sumption have secured Il foothold Iii
the lungs, it win so invigorate and
nourish the body that the disease Viii
he successfully resisted. In this way
It prevents consumption. Even aftef
the lungs ere diseased, the body ema;
ciated, and the health greatly affected
it will often enable The system TO como
off victorious. And even IN the last
stages of the disease, when all hope Of
recovery has been Abandoned, it les-
sens the severity of the attack, md
makes the last days more comfortn-
bic. SCOTS Emulsion brings hope and
health to the great majority, while ie
brings comfort and relief to all.
Scott's Emulsion contains more pure
Norwegian Cod-liver DIT than any other
emulsion in the world, that will stand
the test of time as being perfect iui
scparable emulsion. Ask your doctoE

OF course the Republicans who
