Proverbs

When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is SO perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat
ment.

Gentlemen-"I have used Peruna for
short time and can cheerfully recon-.
mend 1t as being all you represent and

catarrh could know of its great value
Should Iatany future time have occasion

Gratefully yours, James Lewis.
Wherever the catarrh is, there is sure
to be waste of mucus. The mucus Is
as precious as blood. 1t is blood, in fact
1t is blood plasma-blood with the cor.
puscles removed. To stop this waste
you must stop the catarrh. A course Of
treatment with Peruna never fails to do
this.

A CONTINUAL STRAIN.

Many men and women are constantly
subjected to what they commonly term
"a continual strain" because of some fl
nanclal or iamlly trouble, 1t wears and
dislresses them, both mentally and ply
slcally, affecting their nerves badly and
bringing on liver and kidney ailments,
with tie attendant evils Of constipation
loss of appetite, sleeplessness, low vitality
and despondency. They cannot, as a
rule. get rid OF this continual strain, "
but they can remedy Its health-destroy-
ing effects by taking frequent doses OF
Green's August Flower. 1t tones up the
liver, stimulates the Kidneys, insures
healthy bodily functions, gives vim ard
spirit To ones whole being, and event
ually dispels the physical or mental dis
tres, caused by that Continual strain. "

Triumph OF Modern Surgery


Wonderful things are done for
the human body by surgery. Or.
gans are taken out and scraped
and put back, or they may be re.
moved entirely; bones are spliced ;
pipes take the place OF diseased
sections OF veins; antiseptic dres-
sings are applied to wounds, brui-
ses, burns and like injuries before
Inflammation sets in which causes
them to heal without maturation
and in one-third the time required
by the old treatment. Chamber
lain's Pain balm acts on the same
principal. 1t is an anticeptlc and
when applied to such injuries,
causes them to heal very quickly.
1t also allays the pain and sore-
ness. Keep a bottle Of Pain Balm
In your home and it will save yon
the time and money, not to men,
tion the Inconvenience and suffer
ing which such injuries entail.
