Consumption

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con
sumption. "Eat plenty OF
pork" was the advice to thu
consumptive SO and Ioe
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a mar
can stomach it. The ides
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most.
Scott Emulsionisthe
ern method of feeding fat tc
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 special
action on the diseased lungs.

a misstep will result in a heart

Abs Messaline taffeta, of which
the dainty reception gown on the
left of my drawing is composed,
bears its guarantee on the selvage,
thus eliminating the usual problem
regarding wearing possibilities,
and reaches the acme of perfection
in the weaver's art, as well as run

touch and exceptionally lustrous,
the Abs gown shown was one of
the most beautiful among the many
modish frocks worn at Palm Beach.
With the interest in the question
of good health as a great factor in
the development of beauty the
harmful practice of tight lacing is
seldom INDUCED in, so nothing need
be said on that score, but the prop
.er adjustment of the corset is not
as widely understood as it should
be.
A good model of straight front
corset. such as the C-B la Spirite,
should be selected, and if it is
brought we'll down, so as to clasp
about the hips, with the lowest
clasp below the abdomen, the
strings being then moderately and
comfortably brought together, the
corset, instead of being pernicious
will be decidedly beneficial to
health as well as appearance.
