 Perfect Medicine.

Llnonine is a blood food-the most helpful thing in all medicine for you. More than one hundred thousand dollars have been expended in mak- ing this FlaSseed Emulsion the most perfect food medicine in the world.
 Linonine Is not a secret remedy the formula is on every bottle. It is a palatable emulsion-sweet as cream-made of the oil compressed cold from the finest, selected Flax Seeds and imported from Bombay. Flax Seed grown elsewhere is not good enough for Linonine.
 This Flax Seed oil made in this special manner is combined with other healing and bodybuilding ele- ments and by a series of intricate, scientific processes, requiring 12O hours, is emulsified into its delicious cream form. Children and adults alike speak of Linonine as being Sweet as cream" Physicians have prescribed Linonine for years.
