COD. TABLETS

Are dry tablets which contain all the
 vital and beneficial principles of the
 purest Norwegian Cod Liver Oil with
 out any of its nauseating, stomach-up- setting properties. They are easy to take-they leave no unpleasant "taste of oil" in the mouth. They are easily digested and assimilated by the stomach without causing the slightest disorder. They have an even better effect than the plain oil because they contain ad- ditional and extremely valuable ingre- dients, viz.,: Hypophosphites of Lime and Soda and Licorice. Sold in 50c and S1.0O bottles. If your druggist does not keep them send your money direct ly to the manufacturers (see below) and we will send them to you by return mail, postage prepaid.

A Pleasant Way to take
 COD
 LIVER
 OIL

Everybody dreads to take plain cod liver oil, and with good reason, too, for it surely is very disagreeable dose. Besides, the plain oil often upsets the stomach and deranges digestion.
 However, cod liver oil is so indispens- able in the treatment of Pulmonary Complaints, Weak Lungs, Consumption, Nervous Weakness, General Debility and all Wasting Diseases that doctors must continue to prescribe it despite its unpleasant qualities because nothing else can take it's place in curing these ailments.
 Therefore we are glad to be able to announce that you can now secure pure cod liver oil in an easily taken and easily digested form-pure cod liver oil which has been added ingre- dients which prevent its causing the least digestive disturbance.
