How to Avoid Pneumonia.
We have never heard of a single in-1

Foley's Honey and Tar in three yery
severe cases of pneumonia w ith good
results in every case." F. G. Fricke

SPED P1Y LIFE
That's what a prominent
druggist said of Scott's
Emulsion a short time
ago. As a rule we don't
use or refer to testimonials
in addressing the public,
but the above remark and
similar expressions are
made so often in connec
tion with Scott's Emulsion
that they are worthy of
occasional note. From
infancy to old age Scott's
Emulsion offers a reliable
means of remed3Ting im
proper and weak develop
ment, restoring lost fleh
and vitalitj-, and repairing
waste. The action of
Scott's Emulsion is no
more of a secret than the
composition of the Emul
sion itself. What it does,
it does through nourish
