THE BRIGHT SIDE of life. It is a feeling common to the majority of us that we do not get quite the amount of happiness we are entitled to. Among the count less things which tend to make us more or less miserable ill health takes first place.

WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION have not attained their high position in the confidence of the people by bald assertions and boasting advertisements. They are obliged to win it by doing actually what is claimed for them. That this remedy deserves its reputation is conceded. It is palatable as honey and contains the nutritive and curative. with the Compound Syrup of Hypophosphites properties of Pure Cod Liver Oil, combined and the Extracts of Malt and Wild Cherry. Nothing has such a record of success in Scrofula, Anemia, Throat and Lung Troubles, and emaciating complaints and disorders, that tend to undermine the foundations of strength and vigour. Its use helps to show life's brighter side. Dr. H. L. Reddy, B. A., M. D., L. R. C. S., Edinburg.-L. R. C.
