w WEEDS

Consumption is a human

when old, sometimes inn

Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the

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. 1t
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 q;
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

can. that's the treatment and

A German biologist has been invesd-
eating the question of the activity OF
animal bodies after death and has pub
lished some suggestive conclusions. 1t
appears that death Is not instantane-
Gus throughout the physical organism.
for 1t has beer observed that many OF
the different tissues continue active for
a considerable period after the time
when the animal is assumed to be dead,
particularly in the case of the lower an
finals. Cells from the brain of a frog.
for example. have been kept alive for
over a week when held in certain solu-
tons, and the heart of q frog has been
known to beat for many hours after be-
Ing removed from the dead body. The
