Second and Third THE VALUE OF TRUTH Truth in business is just as impor tant as truthfulness in every-day life; truth creates confidence, establishes goodwill and' builds up a reliability that will not be wrecked by the storms of competition. Through three generations people have learned to place reliance on the advertised words of Scott's Emulsion, because they are untarnished, unex- aggerated truisms about a household remedy of real and actual worth. The popularity of Scott's Emulsion is increasing as intelligence advances, because in these days of adulterations it continues to guarantee pure cod liver oil medicinally perfected with glycerine and hy pophosphttes to build strength. improve the blood and strengthen the lungs. It is free from harmful drugs a wholesome food tonic, truthfully advertised.
