its great logs roaring and cracking.
There isn't any poetry In a stove

There was once a fireplace i'm the
cabin Of an old negro woman. There

laughing. rollicking men who suddenly
went from her years before; OF the
pickaninnles, grown and gone far
away. There she sat nodding, nod

so cold and still, and the FIRE had gone
out forever.
And yesternight the little boy sat be-

and someway as the smoke curled up

There are two kinds Of
emulsions of cod liver oil
SCOTS and all the others.
Not one of the latter is as
valuable as SCOTS Emulsion
and there's a reason for it.
Only the purest ingredients
enter our Emulsion and its
quality never varies. That is
why it helps when all others
fail.
There's not much oil in
the market now; its scarce
and high in price. But seal
oil and other inferior oils are
cheap and plentiful. That's
why you can buy so many
substitutes for SCOTS Emul-
sion at a lower price.
We guarantee our Emul.
sion to be the best remedy
for weak lungs, low vitality
and wasting conditions. Who
guarantees the others?
