A SUGGESTION
TO the People of Perth Amboy.

1le articles appearing in some of
Oar loading publications have Great
cd 2 good deal of discussion in Perth
Amboy in regard to advertised med
tclnes, their reliability and power to
cure and as a local druggist, /, C. A.
Sexton, wan to say to the people of
Perth Amboy that | believe one of
the most reliable medicines that we
have known in our drug experience.
extending over a long period, is Vim
oil. the cod liver preparation, made
without oil.
Ninol is not a patent medicine;
everything in it is printed on the
back label of every bottle, and it act
ually does contain in a highly con-
centrated form all of the medicinal.
curative elements of cod liver oil
taken from fresh Gods livers, and
without a drop of the system-clog-
ging oil to upset the stomach and re-
tard its work. and this is why it is
fast superseding old-fashioned cod
liver oil and emulsions.
Inasmuch as Vinol is therefore the
latest scientific improvement Of an
old and standard remedy it is the
greatest strength creator in the
world for old people,, weak, sickly
women and children, nursing moth
ers and after a severe sickness. 1t
cares hacking coughs, chronic colds
and all pulmonary troubles. We
positively guarantee to return mon
ey if it fails" G. A. Sexton, Drug
gisu.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1905-11-08
A QUESTION OF COST.

In any number Of stores
you'll see various prepare
tons of cod liver oil at as
many different prices. You'll
wonder, perhaps, why SCOTS
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 coed as SCOTS at the
lower price. That's false
economy. SCOTS 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
to help you. That's
you get in SCOTS
Emulsion. Thirty years the
standard.
