THE SOLUTION.

WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION has won its high reputation among medical men, and the people of mil civilized countries. They trust it for the same reason that they trust in the familiar laws of nature or in the action of common things, This affective remedy is palatable as honey and contains all the nutritive and curative properties of Pare Cod Liver Oil, extracted by us from fresh cod livers, combined with the Compound Syrup of Hypophosphites and the Extracts of Malt and poisonous, disease-breeding acids and other Wild! Cherry. It quickly eradicates the toxic matters from the system; regulates and promotes the normal action of the organs, gives vigorous appetite and digestion, and is infallible in Prostration-following Fevers, Anemia, Scrofula, Influenza, Wasting Diseases, Throat and Lung Tables, etc. Dr. W. A. Young, of Canada, says: "Your tasteless pre. paration of cod liver oil has given me uniformly satisfactory results, my patients having been of all ages.", it is a product of the skill and science of today and is successful after the old style modes of treatment have been appealed to in vain.
