FOOD invalid 
countries. 
that this food has attained in this country (the 
sales of which aggregate as much as all other 
foods combined) is due to its intrinsic merit, con¬ 
taining as it does all the elements essential to 
growth and repair either in the infant or invalid. 
It has been demonstrated that multitudes of in¬ 
ants have been slowly starving at a period of in¬ 
fancy when development and growth are so re¬ 
markably active because of inability of mothers 
to furnish the necessary nutriment on account of 
overtaxing the nervous system, and by prolonged 
lactation, thus lowering the standard of health in 
both. 
Is no new, untried preparation, but has been in 
use for thirty years, ana the price places it within 
the reach of all.

“ Screw the Finger 
AS TIBET IS YOU CAN: 
That’s rheumatism; one turn more : that’s 
gout,” is a familiar description of these two dis¬ 
eases. Though each may and does attack dif¬ 
ferent parts of the system, the cause is believed 
to be a poisonous acid in the blood. Purify this 
by the use of 
Tarrant’s Seltzer Aperient. 
It will do its work speedily and thoroughly. It 
is the great friend of the sufferer from rheuma¬ 
tism and gout.
