Consumption is a human
weed flourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young;
when old, sometimes impossible.
Strengthen the lunsrsasvou
o c- j
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
Scott's Emulsion. Salt pork
is good 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

it isn't really consumption so
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump- I
tion you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
O ^ t
rigidly regular in your treat- '
ment you will win.
-Scott's Emulsion,fresh air,
m
rest all you can, eat all you "
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.

the form of a label is on the
wrapper of every bottle of
Emulsion you buy. J

Ten Thousand Churches =
In the United States have used
the the .Longman & Martinez rure
Paints.
Every church will be given a
liberal quantity whenever they paint. $
Don't pay $1 50 a gallon for Linseed
oil (worth 60 cents) which you
do when you buy thin paint in a can
with a paint label on it
8 and 6 make 14, therefore when "
you want fourteen gallons of paint,
buy only eight gallons of L. & M , ?
and mix six gallons of pure linseed ?
oil with it. 7
You need only four gallons of L. & ?
M. paint, and throe gallons of oil
mixed therewith to paint a good sized
house.
Houses painted with these paints ^
never grow shabby, even after 18
years.
