A CRAZY MAN
FOUND EATING AN EGG, SHE'LL AND ALL


Rational people thought it was awful,
as the shell had no food value, and was,
of course, indigestible and injurious.
1t is just as crazy for rational people
to swallow a lot of cod liver oil, to get
the medicinal curatives from it, as it
was for the crazy man to eat the egg,
shell and all.
Modern science has proved that the
oil, or greasy part Of cod liver oil has no
value whatever, and only upsets the
stomach and retards recovery. 1t is the
medicinal elements which are envelOped
in the cod liver oil, of which there are
about fifty, that represent all the tonic
and curative power of the famous old
remedy.
A preparation containing all the med
icinal curative elements Of cod liver oil,
actually taken from fresh Gods livers,
but entirely free from oil or grease,
must, therefore, be the very best tonic
Reconstruction possible. Such is NlnoI.
1t positively does contain every one OF
the fifty odd medicinal curative ele-
ments Of cod liver OIL frest aud sweet,
lust as the egg shell contains the nutrl-
tious food, and we throw away the use
less. indigestible oil, just as you throw
away the egg shell.
Knowing its wonderful medicinal and
curative power, we guarantee to restore
health and strength to the following or

1t will be good news to the mothers of
small children TO learn that Group can
be prevented. The first sign of Group
is hoarseness. A day or two before the
attack the child becomes hoarse. This
is soon followed by peculiar rough
cough. Give Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy freely as soon as the child be-
comes hoarse, or even after the rough
cough appears, and it will dispel all
symptoms of Group. In this way all
danger and anxiety may be avoided.
This remedy is used by many thousands
of mothers and has never been known
to fail. 1t is, in fact, the only remedy
that can always be depended upon and
that is pleasant and safe to take. For
sale at Remnants Pharmacy.

Consumption is a human
weed flourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young;
when old, sometimes inn
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
cured at once, but if you will
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.
