A QUESTION OF COST.

In any number of stores you'll see various prepara- tions of cod liver oil at as many different prices You'll wonder, perhaps, why Scott's Emulsion costs more than some other kind in as large a bottle. Hearing only one side of the question you may be led into buying the "just as good as Scott's" at the lower price. That's false economy. Scott's Emulsion costs more because its more expensive to make. Every ingredient is tested and guar anteed of the purest quality. No adulteration, no shaving of quality. There's no econ omy in bargain medicine. If you can afford to experiment with your health, substitutes may satisfy you. We take it, however, that you want a pure preparation, a reliable remedy and something that's going to help you. That's what you get in Scott's Emulsion. Thirty years the standard.

VENoMoUs EMOTIONS.
Sentiments Which, 1t Is shid, Liter.
ally Poison Our Blood.

Ash1Ou
Anger, fear, anxiety, are among the
emotions or sentiments which literally
poison our blood. 1t has often been
said that evil thoughts arc poisonous,
the meaning being that they corrupt
other people, but the real fact is that
they poison our own bodies.
BY losing control OF ourselves and
indulging I'm pngcr, by yielding to anx-
iety, fear mid unwholesomc thoughts,
we cause an irritation or disturbance
which, according TO the latcst sayings
Of scientists, has the effect Of produc:
ing n poison in the blood that may
hnve serious consequences.
Naturalists declare that the venom
Of snakes is generated by anger and
fear; that it Is rapidly collected in u
special receptacle and thence dis
charged at the object of its anger OF
fear, and 1t is further explained that
the same process takes place In the
human body, leit that we have no spe-
cial organ to receive IT,. and It therefore
dispcrses in the blood. acting against
ourselves instead Of for our protection.
BE that MS 1t may, 1t is generally coli
coded that we are literally poisoned by
the emotions mentioned and by II
sentiment or passion which upscts the
smooth working Of our minds.-Home
