Ell Petr6IeO ne es un substitute del
Aceite de Higado de BacalaO

Durante la presente escaSez de
aceite de higado de bacalao, algunos
industriales han hecho grandes es-
fuerzos para popularizar en- provecho
propio el uso de petroleo 6 parafna
como subtancia alimenticia.
BaStante rfdiculo es en- verdad, por
no calificarlo de otro modo, el asegu-
rar que ell petroleo puede substituir al
aceite de hfgado de bacalao.
La gran reputation de que goza Ell
aceite de hfgado de bacalao es debido
sus grandes propiedades nutritivas 8
alimenticias. En- verdad, el aceite de
higsdo de bacalao no solamente es
un alimento, sino que es el mejor me-
dicamento que Sc conoce en- Medicina
y a1n no Sc ha podido encontrar en- Ia
naturaleza otro alimento igual, y
anunciar Ell petr6leo como un substi-
tuto del aceite de hlgado de bacalao,
es atribuir al petr6leo 6 parafna pro-
piedades que no tiene. FL petroleo
carece de Ia propiedad esencia1 de to-
do aliInento, es decir, la de ser asimi-
liable. El petroleo 6 parafna no sola-
mente no es una Substanci asimilable,
sino que cuando Sc toma interiormente
es expelido en- SD totalidad por las
evacuaciones intestinales, causando in
digestion, irritacion del estomago y
de los intestinos, intermediates del
hfgado y del pancreas y con frecuen-
cia diarrea y disenterfa.
La presente escasez de aceite hfgado
de bacalao es un case exceptional que
no durara mucho tempo, pero ha des-
mostrado va la gran demanda que
constantemente hay en- Ell mundo por
este producto alirnenticio. Miles de
personals, j6venes y ancianos, nsan
continuamente este aceite y su salud y
SD vida depende de el.
Afortunadamente la mayor parte
del aceite de bacalao que Sc consume
en- el :nundo es administrado bajo la
forma de emulsion de Scott" prepa-
rada por los Sres. Scott & Bovine,
Oufmicos de Nueva York, quienes
debido 4 sns muchos amos de expe-
riencia en- la materia, vieron venir la
escasez con muchos meSes de anticipa

Saharan Nitrates

The nitrate deposits Of Chilli are the
largest known to exist. and are one of
the greatest sources of that country's
prosperity. Their exhaustion would
mean disaster to Chilli and great loss to
the world. But it has lately been sug-
gested that Africa might compete with
Chilli, if not take the place of that eoun-
try. in this industry. Experts are said
to be convinced that nitrate deposits
even more extensive than those of South
America exist all over the western part
of the Sahara 1t would cost more to
get the product to the coast than 1t costs
in Chilli. but Mr.. E. Gauthier AYERS that
