THECARE OF CATS

/
A new book, entitled PUSSY Meow
has appeared, in which the author,
Louise Patteson, essays to do for the cat
what "BIack Beauty" did for the horse.
The story is told by the cat, and the
book contains many hints as to the pro-
per care and treatment of these animals.
The only reason why cats have not
! been exterminated by the juvenile popu-
lation of civilized countries is that they
have retained enough of their wild in
stincts and training to defend themselves.
Their ever-ready claws generally secure
them immunity from too pressing per-
sonal attentions, and their ability to
climb trees gives them an avenue OF es-
cape from their natural enemy, the dog.
But for all that, they suffer in many
ways from the carelessness or deliberate
cruelty of the people among whom they
live. They are left in deserted houses,
without food; they are given no water to
drink-and that means that they
cannot keep themselves clean in the ma
tural way; and some men even think it is
fun to set their dogs on every cat they
can find. Little pains is taken, as rule
to develop their intelligence or affection,
and they are regarded for the most part
as necessary evils or useless pets.
That cat is as intelligent as dog, no
one who has had much to do with them
can doubt. There are many instances on
record of cats WITCH were devotedly fond
Of their owne nd Of late many snl-
NAL trainersA A.iSvY successfully under
taken to teach them tricks. If people
would only take pains to treat their own
cats well, and dispose Of every homeless,
forlorn, uncared-for cat they see sulking
about the alleys, the cat population as a
whole would repay the trouble.

Acid Dyspepsia, commonly called

ration of the food. The stomach being
too weak to promptly digest 1t, the
food remains until fermentation be-
gins, filling the stomach with gas, and
bitter, sour, burning taste In the
mouth is often present. This condi-
ton soon becomes chronic, and being
An every day occurrence is given but
little attention. Because Dyspepsia
is not Immediately fatal, many people
do nothing for the trouble.
Il is now well known among able
physicians that the whole constitution
is gradually undermined and weak
ened, that the nerves and vitals or
gans are seriously affected by any
form OF dyspepsia. This is plain as
every organ, every nerve in the body
is nourlshed by the blood and the
blood is replenished from the food d.
gested. II the food is properly d.
oested the blood is pure the nerves
steady, but If supplied from a sour
fermentlng, decaying mass the blood
is vltiated, poisoned and the result Is
shown in sleeplessness, lack OF en-
ergy, poor appetite, nervousness
Every triAe is magnified and the dys'
peptic sees nothing but the dark side
OF verything.
Within a recent period remedy has
been discovered prepared solely to
cure dyspepsia and stomach troubles.

the Facts

You hear about the "active
principle" of cod liver oil and
are told that in certain wines,
Cordials and extracts of cod
liver oil this principle is pre-
sented with the objectional
features left out. Nothing to
it. The only active principle
of cod liver oil is the whole
oil.
For years it has been
known that in cod liver oil
are united, in almost invisible
form, valuable medicinal
agents that maintain their
value only so long as they
are kept in perfect combina-
ton, In the whole OIL
There is no process of medi-
cal skill or chemical science
that can unite these peculiar
properties as they exist in the
whole oil: that is WHY there
can be no substitute for cod
liver oil.
In SCOTS Emulsion the
whole oil is presented per-
fectly emulsihed so that it
will readily enter the system
without effort or tax on the
digestive tract. The hypo-
phosphites of lime and soda
which are combined with it
are valuable toniCs, increasing
the appetite, strengthening
the nerves and restoring vi
tality in the whole system.
The most effective way of
taking cod liver oil, as we'll
as the easiest and safest, is in
the form of SCOTS Emulsion.
Avoid these so-called
wines, cordials and extracts
of cod liver oil that are pre-
pared for the taste only, con-
tain none of the value of cod
liver oil which are dosed with
a large percentage of alcohol.
SCOTS Emulsion has been
the reliable cod liver oil pre-
paration for over quarter OF
a century.
