Professional Mourners,

In ancient times funerals were fol-
lowed by professional mourners. who
simulated the appearance of the Wild
est grief. The custom survives In
the valley OF Sondrio in the Alps.
There the women do not follow the
funeral, but they group themselves at
the entrance of the cemetery and
burn, in honor of the dead, candles
which vary in size according to the
remuneration. They are as prodigal
as were the mourners Of ancient times
In their stimulation Of excessive grief.

Consumption

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. "Eat plenty of
pork" was the advice to the
conSumptive SO and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the conSumptive needs
most.
Scott Emulsionis themod-
ern method of feeding fat to
the consumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive Stomachs.
SCOTS Emulsion is the most
refined of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
SCOTS Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hypophos-
phites in SCOTS Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has a special
action on the diseased lungs.
