THE DEAFNESS OF BUTTER.

One of the most eminent authorities on
consumption. DR.. Hughes Bennett Of
London, made the remark that "The
main causes Of consumption are the dear
ness of butter and the abundance Of pas
try cooks" 1t is evident from this that
the doctor believed that the poor and un-
dsrfed are unable to obtain sufficient fat.
while the digestion of the wealthy class
Is upset by their rich pastries so that
they do not assiJr ilate the proper amount
of fat. In either case 1t Il a question Of
fat. We must have fat In some form
cheap enough for the poor. and easy
enough for the enfeebled digestion OF the
rich. Cod liver oil in its crude condition
is both too difficult. and too unpleasant
for any one, but in the form Of Scott's
Emulsion as manufactured by Scott 81
Bovine, 1t Is not only easy to digest, and
pleasant to take, but acts as a medicine
in purifying the blood, a. we'll as the
very best kind of fat forming food.
