A FOOLISH OLD IDEA.

It was once thought that a
medicine was all the more bene-
fetal for having a nasty taste and
smell. We now know that such
an idea is perfect nonsense.
There is no more reason why
medicine should offend the sen
ses than why food should do 50.
Therefore, one Of the greatest
chemical victories of the past
few years is what we may cal
the redemption Of cod'liyer oil.
Everybody knows what a vile
taste and smell this drug has
in It's natural state. No wonder
most people declare they would
rather suffer from disease than
take plain cod liver oil, and the
emulsions are as bad, no matter
what may be alleged to the con-
trary. Now it is one Of natures
laws that medicine which dis
gusts the nose and the palate,
and also sickens the stomach, can
have no good effect as a medi-
cine, because the system cries
out to be delivered from it. In
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
the desired miracle is wrought,
and we have the valuable part Of
the oil, without the other. This
effective modern remedy is pala-
table as honey and contains all
the curative properties of pure
Cod Liver Oil, extracted by
us from fresh cod livers, COM
bined with the Compound Syrup
of Hypophosphites' and the Ex-
tracts of Malt and Wild Cherry.
The palate accepts it as it does
sugar, confectionery or crean.
Taken before meals it goes to til.
very secret stronghold of diges-
tive disorders, and strengthens
the system against Scrofula,
Throat and Lung Troubles and
all diseases due to impurity Of
the blood. DR.. G. G. Shannon, Of
: Canada, says: 81 shall continue
its use with, | an sure, great ad-
vantage to my patients and salts,
factio7 to myself" It has a.
the virtues of cod liver oil; none
of its faults. Sold bv chemists
