plaster lining them cost a life. Nicho-
las had given the order that the
palace must be rebuilt in year, and
what was human life against the des-
pots will? Six thousand men were
kept at work day and night, with the
palace heated at 80 Reamur to dry the
walls rapidly while the temperature
outside was often 80 degrees below
zero Reamur. The men could only
work with ice packs on their heads,
and, experiencing a daily change of
60 degrees, they died by the score
every day. BY the end of the year
the death roll was some thousands, but
the palace was flnished.-Londoi

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 a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most.
Scott sEmulsionis 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.
