The Doctor
Talks

Now, Mrs. Brown, l want
to impress on you the neces.
sity of giving your children
nothing but food which you
know to be pure.
What do you care most
about in the way of meats?
Oysters? Well, that's all
right, provided they are
Sealshipt, but I should not
advise you to risk any other
kind. But the Sealshipt
oysters are protected from
contamination. They are
packed at the beds in a seal
ed enamel case, with the ice
outside. That keeps them
free from dirt and germs.
The ice we use is not always
above suspicion, and / should
not risk letting it touch any
food.
"It's better to be sure than
sorry" and with Sealshipt
oysters you may be sure that
you are getting absolutely
pure food. They are easily
digested, so let the children
have them as they like.
But, remember, nothing
but Sealshipt-you mustn't
take chances with children's
stomachs.
