Her BOY HAD ALWAYS
BEEN WEAK AND PUNY
Now he eats everything i'm sight
and romps with playmates.

My four year old boy had been
weak and puny since birth, and had
constipation, and indigo stion. Nothing
did him any good until we tried Milks
Emulsion. Since using it. he can't get
enough to eat and has outgrown his
childhood trouble. He plays out with
the children now, and he was never
able to do that before-"-Wm. Heart,
424 Bundy Ave, New Castle, Ind
Weak, ailing children usually start
eating and getting stronger from the
very first bottle of Milks Emulsion.
Most children like to take it. because
it really tastes good. A trial costs
nothing.
Milks Emulsion is a pleasant, nutri-
tive food and a corrective medicine
It restores healthy, natural bowel
action, doing away with all need Of
pills and physics. It promotes appe-
tjte and quickly puts the digestive
organs in shape to assimilate food As
builder of flesh and strength, Mflks
Emulsion is strongly recommended to
those whom sickness has weakened.
and is a powerful aid in resisting and
repairing the effects of wasting dis
eases. Chronic stomach trouble and
constipation are promptly relieved
usually in one day. It produces re-
markabIe results in colds, coughs and
bronchial asthma
This is the only solid emulsion made,
and so palatable that it is eaten with
spoon like ice cream
No matter how severe your case.
you are urged to try Milks Emulsion
under this guarantee-Take six bottles
home with you, use it according to
directions and if not satisfied with the
results. your money will be promptly
refunded. Price soc and s1.2o per
bottle. The MiIks Emulsion Co, Terre

DR.. James Naismith, director of
physical education, organized lacrosse
twelves from 1904 to 1908, and played
several games with the Haskell In
