W fEDS

Consumption is human
weed Aourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young;
when old, sometimes i'm
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear,
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption SO
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
Ccured at once, but if you will
J begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.

Good
Medicine

Cod liver oil is in universal re-
pute as the best body builder in
wasting diseases, and the best
reconstruction in recovery from
severe sickness known to medicine.
Nevertheless, three-fourths of
the people are really made sick by
the taste and smell of cod liver oil.
Half of them can't take it. Their
stomachs either reject it, or are SO
upset by it that the dose does
more harm than good.
Vinol is the only preparation of
cod liver oil which contains no
grease or bad taste yet does con-
tain all the virtue of cod liver
oil, and is deliciously palatable. 1t
also contains organic iron. Iron
gives quality to the blood. Almost
every ailing person needs it.
The combination of these two
elements with table wine is both
scientific and effective. 1t has
accomplished wonderful things
right here in town. We think
we are doing a service to every
rundown, ailing, coughing, ner-
vous, debiltated person in calling
attention to Vinol. We sell it on
its merits money back if it does
not help you. You run no risk.
Old people revive under its inhu-
snce. Nursing mothers and over
worked people get new vitality.
