Saved DQY LIFE

That's what a prominent
druggist said of SCOTS
Emulsion a S hort time
ago. AS a rule we don't
use or refer to testimonials
in addressing the public,
but the above remark and
similar expressions are
made so often in connec-
ton with SCOTS Emulsion
that they are worthy of
occasional note. From
infancy to old age SCOTS
Emulsion offers a reliable
means of remedying i'm
proper and weak develop
ment, restoring lost flesh
and vitality, and repairing
waste. The a t i o n of
SCOTS Emulsion is no
more of a secret than the
composition of the Emul-
sion itself. What it does
it does through nourish-
ment-the kind of nourish-
ment that cannot be OBJ
tanned in ordinary food.
No system is too weak or
delicate to retain SCOTS
Emulsion and gather good
from it.

tirely in the hands of the stand patters
Recently he was in Washington and
was interviewed. Among other things
he said: 1T is not probable that con-
gress will revise the tariff until the
people demand it in terms so emphatic
that their determination to have it can
not be misunderstood" That is a very
sage remark, the Importance of which
lies in the application thereof. Then he
continued: Eve must elect house Of
representatives next year that is in
sympathy with revision. At present
the house is with the stand patters -
