WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION has won its high reputation among medical then, and the people of all 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 effective 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 Wild Cherry. It quickly eradicates the poisonous, disease-breeding acids and other 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 Troubles, 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."

existing offensive and defensive alliance be- tween Great Britain and Japan and to the fact that, even as regards the borrowing of money for cofistic purposes, Russia stands upon the brink of bankruptcy.
