As a rule we don't use or refer to testimonials in addressing the public but the above remark and similar expressions are made so often in connec tion with Scott's Emulsion that they are worthy of occasional note.- Frorri infancy to old age Scott's Emulsion offers a reliable means of remedying im proper and weak develop ment, restoring lost flesh and vitality, and repairing waste. The ac t i o n of Scott's Emulsion is ' no more of a secret than the composition of the Emul sion itself. What it does it does through nourish' fnent the kind of nourish merit that cannot be ob tained in' ordinary food. No system is too weak or delicate to retain Scott's Emulsion and gather good from it.

That sounds welt: let the mother run the reformitory I What are you going fi do with the drifting little wails and vagabonds who have no mother on earth? It is easy to say that parents are to blame for wavward children and it some cases it is true. But had you thought how many abandoned little out casts are wandering about, pilfering and engaging in all manner of petty offender, whose mothers are sleeping tbo cold fileeo of dtath in the quiet church urd?
