Young Plants

Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
easy way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because of lack
Of food, but because the food
does not feed.
SCOTS Emulsion reallyfeeds
and gives the child growing
strength.
Whatever the cause of weak
ness and failure to grow
SCOTS Emulsion seems to find
it and set the matter right.

THE. TRUE TEST2
Tried in SkOwhsgan, Il Has Stood
the Test

The hardest test is the test
of time, and Doan's Kidney
Pills have stood it well in
Skowhegan. Kidney suffer-
ers can hardly ask for
stronger proof than the fol-
lowing:
John Farnham, contractor and builder
of 8 summer St, says: 81 have never
relapsed into that desperate condition
from which Doan's Kidney Pills rescued
me in the winter of 1897, after l had
gone to SIMPSONS drug store for the
preparation and had taken full course
of the treatment. When symptoms of
occurrences showed themselves few
doses of Doans Kidney Pills always
relieved me, fully justifying me in
recommending the preparation person
ally as well as through our Skowhegan
papers. You are at liberty to continue
my endorsation of Doan's Kidney Pills
because the average man suffering from
backache certainly wishes to know some
means he can employ to get
relief. Doan's Kidney Pills are a relia-
BILE means"
