A man may be ignorant as to the j law and even write "bad grammar,' j yet be a just and sensible juror?and j act accordingly ?Lawrens Herald. j i Salt pork is a famous oldfashioned remedy for consumption. " Eat plenty of pork," was the advice to the consumptive 50 and 100 years ago. Salt pork is good if a man can stomach it. The idea behind it is that fat is the food the consumotive needs 1 most. Scott'sEmulsion is the modem method of feeding fat to the consumptive. Pork is too rough for sensitive stomachs. Scott's Emulsion is the most refined of fats, especially prepared for easy digestion. Feeding him fat in this way, which is often the only way, is half the battle, but Scott's Emulsion does more than that. There is something about the combination of cod liver oil and hypophosphites in Scott's Emulsion that puts new life into the weak parts and has a special action on the diseased lungs. ^ S m A sample will be HBe sure that this picture in the form of a label is on the wrapjier of every bottle of chemists ' 400 Pearl St .
