If I Wera You.
I wouldn't think about distress.
If I were you:
I wouldn't even once confess
To ever feeling bluet
But when the sun is well disposed
To shine upon our friends and foes
I'd be content with even less,
If I were you.
Just let it rain, or snow or shine:
'Twill bring 110 gain
To blame misfortune, or repine:
The longest lane
Will end some time, and every day
Roses will bloom along the way,
Because of rain.
Then sing your songs: cry if yon must.
But keep in view
The hcallhy soul inspiring trust
That's always due
To ihcm that strive to live above
All earthly things excepting love:
I'd let all other treasures rust.
If I were vou!

To Judicious Buyers.
Whatever else the spring and summer of 1899 may have i
store for you. It certainly offers the golden opportunity to bu

their elegance, style and quality. Regarding the opportunities
of selections, we do not think you will find a better assortet
stock to choose from. When it comes to quality we speak of tht
matter with pride. It is the fundamental principle of our busi
ness to sell reliable goods. We carry all grades to be sure o.
course, some are much finer than others but that is what you
want a chance to select according to tne use you propose m
make of the article purchased. But no matter whether you buy
from our finest or our cheapest grade, you are sure to get an hon
est value for your money.

Ask your physician this ques
tion, "What is the one great
remedy for consumption?"
He will answer, "Cod-liver
oil." Nine out of ten will
answer the same way.
Yet when persons have
consumption they loathe all
fatty foods, yet fat is neces
sary for their recovery and
they cannot take plain cod
liver oil. The plain oil dis
turbs the stomach and takes
away the appetite. The dis
agreeable fishy odor and
taste make it almost unen
durable. What is to be done ?
This question was ans
wered when we first made
GCOTT'G
EMULSION
of Cod-Liver Oil with Hypo
phosphites. Although that
was nearly twenty-five years
ago, yet it stands alone to
day the one great remedy
for all affections of the throat
and lungs.
The bad taste and odor have been
taken away, the oil itself has been
partly digested, and the most sen.
sitive stomach obects to it rarely.
Not one in ten ean take and di jest
the plain oil. Nine out of ten can
take SCOTTS EMULSION and di
gest it. That's why it euro so
many cases of early consumption.
Even In advanced cases it brintfs
comfort and greatly prolongs life.
