Salt pork is a famous DID,
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 man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most.
Scott sEmulsionis themod-
ern method Of feeding fat to
the consumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs.
SCOTS 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
SCOTS 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.

STOCKS AM BONDS.

New York, May 16.-Tne illness Of E.
H.. Hartman made its influence felt in
today's stock market and this was supple
mented by the showing mad by the
banks, which was interpreted as poor by
the trading element. The weakness Of
Southern Pacific was directly traceable
to the condition of the health OF the prcs'-
dent of the companies. The stock de
clined an extreme l IA, touching a new
low level for the year. This weakness
had some sympathetic effect elsewhere III
the market. st. Paul and New York Cen
trail also made low record prices for the
year. A light demand from the bears to
cover shorts made an impression just at
the close, which was IN consequence
steady. The nominal increase in the cash
items Of the banks was as much as was
expected. The fact that today's gold ex-
pert of 81 $50, 600 to South America, was
withdrawn only yesterday and SO fig
ured for only one day in the weekly aver
ages upon which the bank statement are
computed, left the probability that some
effect of the transactions would be thrown
over into next weeks showing. The III
crease in loans was generally regarded as
rejecting the further transfer of cbliga
lions from foreign to domestic lenders.
During the money ~stringency of last fall
the recall of over-extended foreign credits
was an important factor IN upsettlnS tie
money market. The tendency to cut
down this foreign credit now IS viewed
with satisfaction in financial circles. But
the professional sentiment on the Stock
Exchange confined itself to the bare show
ing of the statement with It's conse-
quent jnroad upon the surplus reserve.
TodayS London discount market showed
a hardening tendency resulting from; the
paying off of the markets heavy obllga-
ton to the Bank of England and tAe
bank lost over a. million dollars IN gold
withdrawn for export to South America.
This increases the likelihood of further
gold exports from New York next week.
There has been an irregular movement
of bonds and only a moderate volume OF
business. but the increased variety IN the
dealings has indicated q search for lnvest
ments
