Of sufficient cars to transport them to

average thirty-tve tons OF beets,
making total already shipped and

Consu|llp lption'

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. "Eat plenty Of
pork" was the advice to the
consumptive 50 and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most.
Scott's Emulsionisthemod-
ern method of feeding fat to
the consumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs.
Scott's Emulsion is the most
refined of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
Scott's Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hypophos-
phites in SCOTS Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has a special
action on the diseased lungs.
