It is cod-liver oil, the ,purest and the best in the world, but made so palata ble that almost everybody can take it. Nearly all children like it and ask for more. EMUlLSION looks like cream ; it nlour ishes the wasted body of the baby, child or adult better than cream or any other food in existence, It bears about the same rela tion to other emulsions that cream does to milk. If you have had any experience with other so-called "just as good." preparations, you will -find that this Is a fact. ihhe.,hypophosphites that are icombmned wIth the cod-llvr oIl gIve addItional value to It because they, tone up the nervous system and lipart strength to the whole body. -OF -0 Mr, Editor: The Building Boom is now on and the good Pholks will lood11 all kinds of material, :st v ;'; We have It.
