Salt pork is a famous old fashioned remedy for con sumption. "-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 consumptive needs most. 1 Scott'sEmulsionisthemod ern 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 some thing abolit the combination of cod liver oil and hypophos phites in Scott's Emulsion tha,t puts new life into thc weak parts and has a special icti?n on the diseased lungs. 1.1*1 A sample will be sent free upon request.

Marti*, Senoca, 8. 0. Dear Sir: Wo hoar' you're doing a good busluess, and we know already, without your telling us. that you use good paint and do good work. We've got a oig business too-been at it 149 years-making good paint, bestpaiutin the world, Devoe Lead and Zino. "Fewor gallons and wears longer" that's the reason in short. It takes fewer gallons of Devoe Lead and Zino than any of tho mixed paints to oover a house, and it wears longer than lead and oil or any mixod paint. Smith A Wilber, Cambridge Springs, Pa., write: "One of our painters Bays Devoe is the best paint for a painter to uso wbon tak ing work by the job, aa it. goes further and covers better than auy paint he over tn??d." Here's the experience everybody has with it Tho dealer who sells Devoe gets the bulk of the paint business of his >wo. The painter who paints Devoo gets the painting of his town. Tours truly, F. W.
