Enquire of Mahy A. Visckkt, Tablo UocW, Ore. AMD (S Mil LB Does your horse "feel his oats"? What a difference be twecn the grain-fed and the grass-fed horse! The first strong and full of ginger, the second .flabby, weak and tired out before he begins. The feeding makes the difference. Children ar e not alike either, One is rosy, bright-eyed, full of life and laughter, another is pale, weak and dull. The feed ing again is responsible. Sickly children need special feeding. They don't "feel their oats". Scott's Emulsion adds just the right richness to their diet. I t is like grain to the horse. The child gets new appetite and strong digestion; Scott's Emulsion is more than food. It is a strong medicine. It rouses up dull children, puts new flesh on thin ones and red blood into pale ones. It makes children grow. Scott's Emulsion makes ordi nary food do its duty. This picture represents Hie Trado Mark of Scott's Emulsion and U on the wrapper of every bottle.

On her way homo she was again compelled to stand, uil once more the handkerchief came be tween her glove and the leather. Whether it was after that or during the evening at the theater that she once thoughtlessly put the handker chief to her face ia a detail that she does not recall, but two day after ward a pain on her lip became so Intol erable that she wa compelled to see a doctor, who found her suffering from Incipient blood poisoning which it was already too late for him to prevent. The most that he could do was tm watch her carefully through s long at tack of Illness which at one tima threatened to end fatally. Me attributed this to some poison ous spbstance which had passed to her handkerchief from the strap, and fht was his diagnosis the moment he bar4 the story of the ride on the cable car.
