Consumption

The only kind of consump-
ton to fear is neglected
consumption"
People are learning that con-
sumption is a durable disease.
1t is neglected consumption
that is so often incurable.
At the faintest suspicion of
consumption get a bottle of
SCOTS Emulsion and begin
regular doses.
The use of SCOTS Emulsion
at once, has, in thousands of
cases, turned the balance in
favor of health.
Neglected consumption does
not exist where SCOTS Emul-
sion is.
Prompt use of SCOTS Emul-
sion checks the disease while it
can be checked.

Opinion of an Illinois Man,

AS the "proof Of the pudding is in
the eating and not in chewing the
string" so the merits of medicine are
most clearly demonstrated after it has
been used. John T. Teal, Tabor, ILL.,,
says, II have been handling Harris
Honey and Horehound for the past
year and have found it very meritori-
Gus. Have used it in my own family
with excellent results and it is my
best seller in the store" When our

Pleasant to the Taste.

One of the most important require
ments in a medicine to be given to
small children should be that it is
pleasant to take. Bad tasting medi-
cines disturb the stomach, destroy the
appetite and it is extremely difficult
to get children to take them. The
pleasant flavor of Re-Go Tonic Laxa-
tive Syrup, the certain cure for dys-
pepsia, constipation and biliousness,
pleases the most sensitive persons and
rem. Sold by Jos. Bennett.
