O'Brien Boy
Thin and Pale
In a Little Over Two Months
Gained Eleven Pounds

AS body builder, an appetite crea-
tor, and to make weak, skinny boys
and girls sturdy, strong and full of
energy there is nothing like Cod Liver
Oil-any physician will tell you that.
But it's vile. horrible stuff to take,
and is apt to upset any stomach, so
now doctors are prescribing and wise
parents are buying McCoy's Cod Liv-
sr Oil Compound Tablets-sugar coat
ed, and as easy to take as candy.
The son of George G. OBrien Of
MAhwah, N. j., was thin and pale and
did not get enough nourishment from
his food. In little over two months,
he gained eleven and one-haIf pounds.
and feels and looks one hundred per
cent better.
Mothers, If any of your children are
weak, thin or puny, give them these
tablets, as directed for 80 days, and
watch them gain flesh and health
from day to day-they seldom fail
but if the unusual should happen and
you are not supremely satisfied with
results-your druggist Is authorized
to return your money.
Be sure-always to get the original
and genuine McCoy's Cod Liver Oil
Compound Tablets--60 tablets 60
cents at Coughlin's Drug Store or any
druggist in America. Thousands of
boxes sold daily.

He served the public to the best of his ability. He was one of those individuals who believed a public office was a public trust and, once regarding himself as fully qualified 10 serve his fellow citi- 2cns, early mingled in public life and was honored with various posts of confidence. In all these positions he acquitted himself in a high-mindcd and idealstic man ncr, hcWing closely to the best standards of the day and increas- ing his large company of admiring friends as he progressed from one post 10 another in the Common Council, various city positions, the mayoralty and the Legislature.
