You probably taowto** W hen vitality is low the weakest part of you will sivp way, and in spite of all you do, tiis J«t wm remain weak until the aggravafang cause behind it is taken away. . ■ Scott's Emulsion is cod-liver oil, but not plain cod-liver oil alone. It is palatable, sweet, and free- from decay and rancidity. It is also partially digested and gives nourishment to the system without taxing the digestive organs like ordinary food. It contains the hpoP^^tes of lime and soda which aid digestion, stimulate the nerves,'ana sustain the brain, ltis toe most rational way of taking cod-hver oil. a you are weak, emaciated, thin, "coughing, anietnic, or suffering in some vital spot, try Scott's Emulsion. We venture to say you will bs surprissd at its beneficial effects .—7

— When discasaiag the very important snoiecb of London's requirements, it should not be overlooked that its population increases by about 70,000 every year. It has 500 railway stations, exclusive of goods depots. Its Smithfield is mentioned in history as a cattle market as far"back as the year 1150, and the system of aelliug there, which is the ordinary old-fashioned shop method, only without fixed priceEj is as antiquated as the market itself.
