A poor Austrian official in the civil
service bought two tickets in the Hun
garian phlanthropic state lottery. A
little while afterward his funds ran
very low, and he sent back one Of the
tickets to the lottery office and asked
that the money he had paid for 1t
might be returned. This very ticket
won the first prize at the drawing,
amounting to 10000 kronen, a sum
which would have made the official
rich beyond his utmost dreams if he
had not at the last moment let his own
good fortune slip out of his hand.

Consumption

The only kind Of consump.
ton to fear is neglected
consumption
People are learning that con-
sumption is a durable disease.
1t is neglected consumption
that is so often incurable.
At the faintest suspicion of
consumption get a bottle of
SCOTS Emulsion and begin
regular doses.
The use of SCOTS Emulsion
at once, has, in thousands of
cases, turned the balance in
favor of health.
Neglected consumption does
not exist where SCOTS Emul-
sion is.
Prompt use of SCOTS Emul-
sion checks the disease while 1t
can be checked,
