Owing to the tightness of money and the general depression of the abare market, but few-transactions have taken place, and the special feature of the week has been a further heavy decline in Indo-Chinas.

we should possess the best remedy in the world incurable." So said a famous English physi- for certain diseases that are now practically

cian twenty-five years ago "But it will never be done," he added. "You can' no more toru cod liver oil into a pleasant palatable medicine, than you can turn the Codfish itself into a Bird of Paradise." Yet he lived to admit that in

WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION the "impossible" had been accomplished. It is palatable as honey and contains all the nutritive and curative properties of Pure Cod Liver Oil, extracted by us from fresh cod livers, combined with the Compound Syrup of Rypophosphites, Extracts of Malt and Wild Cherry. This remedy is freed from the bad peculiarities Dr. Frothingham so detested, and

it is precisely the splendid medicine he wished for. Usa il freely and confidently for Anemia, Hysteria, Wasting Complaints, Blood Impari, ties, Asthma, and Throat and Lung Troubles Dr. W. H. B. Aikins, F. R. C. P., London,- M. D. C. M., Victoria University,-M. B., Toronto University,—Consulting Physician to Home for Incurables, Physician to Toronto General Hospital, says: "I am much piessed to state that the results from using Wampole's Preparation of Cod Liver Oil have been uniformly satisfactory; it appealed to me as being prepared according to correct scien. tific principles." It increases the appatite and influences the digestion of food; it is delicious to take, will not disappoint you and is affective from the first dose. "It represents the dawn of progress."
