why Livingston Laughs.

Representative Livingston Of Georgia

surgeons recently, and he Is congratu-
lating himself accordingly. As result
Of his arduous campaign work he be-
came possessed Of very bad throat.
1t refused TO yield TO ordinary treat
ment, so he went to a distinguished
surgeon in his part'of the country. The
surgeon took q glance at the infamed
organ and then got out his knives and
prepared for an operation. Mr.. Living
ston demurred. After much pleading
he was granted twenty-four hours In
which to tighten up his nerve for the
ordeal. While engaged i'm the tighten
ing process another patient came along
was stretched out on the operating ia
BILE and died before the surgeon finished
with him. Livingston heard Of this and
stood of the surgeon on one pretext 4
another until he was ready to start for
Washington. Just before leaving home
he came upon an old negro nanny
who offered to cure his throat. She
soaked lump OF sugar in turpentine.

claimed for 1t. And that" said Rep

A Choking DoR.

Dogs frequently choke. A bone, a
nail or piece of tin gets in the
throat, and there is great danger Of
death before the arrival OF the surgeon.
Many of them do die, but there is no
reason for this, for ii Is easy, without
the slightest danger OF getting bitten,
TO put the hand in the mouth of a dog
and to draw out or push down the OBJ
struction that is choking it. A bandage

A second person can then with perfect
ease and safety put his fingers down
the animals throat and relieve 1t.

1t is during those hours the all power

Blood

Feed pale girls on SCOTS
Emulsion.
We do not need to give all
the reasons why SCOTS
Emulsion restores the strength
and flesh and color of good
health to those who suffer
from sick blood.
The fact that it is the best
preparation of Cod Liver Oil,
rich in nutrition, full of healthy
stimulation is a suggestion as
to why it does what it does.
SCOTS Emulsion presents
Cod Liver Oil at its best,
FULLEST in strength, least in
