MAKING IT PLAIN

The Pure FOOD and Drug Laws aim
to protect the public by preventing
mis-statements on the labels of prepa-
rations out some people continue TO
accept "extracts" of cod liners think
ing they will get the benefits Of an
emulsion Of cod liver oil.
The difference is very great. An
"emulsion" contains real ood A1ey oil,
which has had the hearty endorse
ment of the medical profession for
many years, while an "extract' is a
product which contains no oil and is
highly alcoholic.
