A Remarkable
Invention
Xt Is no longer necessary for tne motorist to get stuck. This
Uttle device, if carried in bis tool-box, multiplies his power by
73, and makes him independent of road conditions. If his auto
sticks in the mud, skids into a ditch or overturns, he can right
It in 10 minutes by simply driving the three stakes in the
ground, attaching
Pull-U-Out
to them and to the auto and giving the ratchet crank a few
easy turns. The stakes will hold, even in very soft ground
and out comes the auto. No trouble, no expense, not even
soiled clothes! This wonderful little device lifts a ton, of dead
weipht, or pulls 50 tons on wheels; yet its shipping weight is
only 28 lbs., and U fits easily into a space 4x6x14 inches.

HAVE YOU WEAK LUNGS?
Do colds settle on your chest or in your
bronchial tubes ? Do coughs hang on, or
are you subject to throat troubles? .
Such troubles should have immediate
treatment with the strengthening powers
of Scott's Emulsion to guard against
consumption which so easily follows.
Scott's Emulsion coiitai ns pure cod liver
oil which peculiarly strengthens the res
piratory tract and improves the quality of
the blood; the glycerine in it soothes and
heals the tender membranes of the throat.
Scott's is prescribed by the best special
ists. You can get it at any drug store.
