Like other weeds it's easily destroyed while young; when old, sometimes impossible. Strengthen the lungs as you would weak land and the wreeds will disappear. The best lung fertilizer is Scott's Emulsion. Salt pork is sfood too, but it is very hard to digest. The time to treat consumption is when you begin trying to hide it from yourself. Others see it, you won't. Don't wait until you can't deceive yourself any longer. Begin with the first thought to take Scott's Emulsion.. If it isn't really consumption so much the better; you will soon forget it and be better for the treatment. If it is consumption you can't expect to be cured at once, but if you will begin in time and will be i . ..... ngiciiy regular in your treatment you will win. . Scott's Emulsion, fresh air, rest all you can, eat all you can, that's the treatment and that's the best treatment. ?H' We will send you I Be sure that this picture in the form of a label is 0:1 the wrapper of every bottle of SCOTT & BOWiNE, Chemists, 409 Pearl St., N.
