ancient city on the shores of the Bcs-

and more especially since the days Of
Peter the Great. she has regarded as her
Inheritance.

The Changing Age

Girls and boys from IA to 10 years
of age undergo physical changes
which tax their strength to the utmost
and the strain is always apparent from
pale cheeks, colorless lips, and tired
bodies-sometimes eruptions of the skin
and the utter lack of the ambition and
animation with which their younger
years were filed.
Budding into womanhood and nar-
hood with the duties of school or business,
demands concentrated nouri I'M Mt
which is readily convertible into red blood
corpuscles, energy and strength, and the
very best thing for this changing age is
the medical nutriment in SCOTS Emul-
sion-it possesses the rare blood-making
properties of cod liver oil in a predi-
sested form; hypophosphites for the
nervous system, with the healing, sooth-
ing qualities of pure glycerine.
Its nourishing force promotes assimlla-

age that it should never be neglected.
