Governor Wood will tell the convention
that there is nothing else to do hut to

FOR OLD AGE

To the old, as to babies, the
even balance OF health is more
important than anything else
in the world. The possible
health, in age, is not high and
strong; it is only even.
There is no emu, but death,
to the trouble that comes Of its
loss. 1t ought to be watched
like a baby's.
SCOTS emulsion of cod-liver
oil for very old and very young
in different ways-is the food
to secure this even health.
Well send you little to try If you like.
