The London Lancet after careful examination of
' Scott's Emulsion
-reported that "tli preparation fulfills ALL the requlremenh anJ
. precents ALL the conditions of a very satisfactory emulsion. Is - ,
appearance and consistency it is; not unlike cream and under '
the microscope the ht globules are Ken to be of perfectly regular
- size and uniformly disbibuted. So well hat the oB been emulsV
fied that even when shaken with water the fat Is slow to separate, '
. The taste b decidedly unobjectionable and the Emulsion should . '
prove an excellent food a well at a tealc."
. . We believe no other preparation of Cod Liver-Oil baa
received such weighty commendation and if the sams high, au
thorities were to examine it now they wonld find it even finer,:
more digestible, more palatable and more' satisfactory in every '
way) in fact, SCOTTS EMULSION has so long been the one
satisfactory and perfect Emulsion that It is accepted as the
standard by medical practitioners all over the world, by the '
public and by hundreds of Imitators, for it is the one sind only
Emulsion imitated. '
The Imitations are In name only for no other preparation
of Cod Liver Oil Is so pure, so perfect end so beneficial
SCOTT'S (EMULSION
has become the world's Standard Body-Builder because of the
perfect purity of its ingredients, its absolute freedom' from
ALCOHOL or any other harmful substance and because the
results from it are uniform: and far greater than from any
other preparation.

Th last hnns of this year's erowth in
western Washington have been cleaned
up by the sale of two small lots aggre
gating 90 bales. The purchase was
made, by Herman Klaber at Tacoma at
12o a pound. The hops were of prime
quality, and were the last holdings of
growers in that hecticn. -'The
hop market here Is blocked since
the failure of Pincus & Sons," Mr. Kla
ber told The Journal this morning, on
his return from Tacoma. "The market
is firm, but remaining holdings are very
hard to buy."
i-There' are reports of a number of
small deals in the Willamette valley, but
they cannot be confirmed. Fourteen
cents has been offered for several lots,
but the bids were not accepted by grow
ers, who are asking a fraction above
this. Many growers are not willing to
sell at all just now, Deiieving tnai mey
will secure a far greater return after
the holidays. ' r '
