The clerk said: Fred, l know
something that will help you. It's
Vinol. The boss has got hold of
way to prepare cod liver oil so it
tastes all right. He calls it Vinol.
There is iron in it, and it S just the
stuff for fellows like you. It'll
give you an appetite. 1t won't
hurt you anyway. Lots of folks
round here are taking it, and they
tell their friends, and they come
and get it. If it don't help you,
come back and get your money"
We endorse what the clerk said.
We wouldn't have put time, money
and reputation into Vinol, if we
hadn't known it was different from

WEEDS

Consumption is a human
weed fourishing 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,
The Somerset reporter., 1903-01-29

The old theory that consumption was
inherited is utterly discredited by modern
medical science. The germs of con-

In letter to Editor cKelway of the

thereupon announced that it would

A summary OF the views of the men,

latter is likely to have the support OF

stronger in the north. German has
