MAKING II PLAIN

The Pure Food and Drug Laws aim
to protect the public by preventing
mis,state;ments on the labels of prepa-
rations hut some people continue to
accept '<extracts" of cod Avers think
ing they will get the benefits of an
emulsionpof cod liver oil. !
The difference is very great. An
"emulsiop'' contains real cod liver oil,
which has had the hearty endorse
ment of the medical profession for
many yerrs, while an "extract" is a
product which contains no oil and is
highly alcoholic.
Scott's Emulsion guarantees the high
est grade of real Norwegian cod huev ont,
skilfully blended with glycerine and

false stimulation Of alcohol and is en-
dorsed by good physicians everywhere.

overhauled at least year. and that at least one
experienced telephone man assist in this work. The
cost of this work when divided among all patrons
of the line, makes the amount paid by each man
small, and this cost will be than offset by the
improved service.
