That is the regulai report from the monkey cagt of Bamum’s Circus ever sine the keepers began dosing tin monkeys with Scott’s Emul si on. Consumption was carry ing off two thirds of them every year and the circus had to buy new onesOne day a keeper accidentally broke a bottle of Scott’sEmulsion near the monkeycage and the monkeys eagerlylapped it up from the floor.This suggested the idea that itmight do them good. Since 1 hen the monkeys have received regular doses and the keepers ■eport very few deaths from :onsumption. Of course it's hcapcr to buy Scott’s Emulsion than new monkeys—and ’:at suits the circus men.Consumption in monkeys :nd in man is the same disease, if you have it or are threaten-‘ ed with it can you take the hint?This picture represent*• the Trade Mark of Scott* Emulsion and is on th« wrapper of every bottle.STor free sample*SCOTT BOWNE,409 Pearl St t New Yorl 50c and $1. all druggists.farmer in Walfcon county: W.H.
