resis. The people have discovered that this medicine is exactly what it is said to bo, and that it does what we have always declared it will do. Its nature also has been frankly made known. It is palatable as honey and contalos all the nutritive and curative properties of Pure Cod Liver Oil, extracted by us from fresh, cod livers, combined with the Compound Syrup of Hypophosphites and the Extracts of Malt and Wild Cherry.
A combination of supireme excellence and medicinal merit. · Nothing has been so successful in Anemia, Scrofula,· Bron- chitis, Influenza, Loss of Fleshland-Wasting Discason, Weakness and. Low Nervous Tone, and all complaints caused by Impure Blood, Dr. Austin D. Irvine, of Canada, says: "1. have used it in cases where cod liver oil was indicated but could not be taken by the
patient, and the results following were very
gratifying." It is affective from the first dose and agrees with the most sensitive and nervous stomachs. It cannot deceive or disappoint you,
and comes to the rescue of those who have
received no benefit from any other treatment, It stands for the medicinal triumphs of the age. "Watch carefully against imitations." Sold by. chemists throughout the world.
