that the house was sold out and then

WHAT IS HYPo.coD7

Years ago. eminent physicians dis
covered that cod livers contained val.
liable medicinal properties which were
remarkable for giving strength to run
down. sickly, and anaemic men, wo.
men, and children.
They found, too. however. that the
cod livers contained also. properties
which were OF doubtful value-that
fishy, oily, nauseating element SO
prominent in the average cod liver
preparation.
This led to authorizations, emulsions,
ETC., sickening and nauseating in their
use, which accounts for the prevalent
dislike for cod liver preparations. As
a result, perhaps the most useful and
beneficial medicinal element known
to mankind has fallen into disuse.
But It is coming back! And you
your wife, mother, sister, brother
husband, or your children perhaps, II
sickly, pale, weak, underweight, can't
sleep, appetite is poor, digestion bad
or feel run down generally will find
in Hypo-cod, the great flesh builder
the real solution, of your ailment. For
Hypo.Cod contains all the good ele
ments from fresh cod livers with the
Objectionable parts, eliminated by a
scientific process, and the addition OF
very efficient and health building
qualities such as malt, iron, wild cher.
ry bark, manganese, ETC., with dash
Of sherry wine. Can you imagine
anything more healthful and invigor
