Besides, it it nsvsr sold in bulk like lard, but comas in staled tin pails, and is not open to contamination. So much for purity and healthfuiness. AS to economy—Cottolsns is richer than lard. It requires, therefore, but two-third, ths quantity to secure better results. This means economy. Why not do Justice to your stomach and give it a digestible product rethsr than an indigestible one?
