S07ED JOT LIFE”
-That’s what a prominent
druggist said of Scott’s
Emulsion a short time
xgo. As a rule we don’t
use or refer/to testimonials
in addressing the public,
but the above remark and
similar expressions are
made so often in connec
tion with Scott’s Emulsion
that they are worthy of
occasional note. From
infancy to old age Scott’s
Emulsion offers a reliable
means of remedying im
proper and weak develop
ment, restoring lost flesh
and vitality, and repairing
waste. The action of
Scott’s Emulsion is no
more of a secret than the
composition of the Emul
sion itself. What it does
it does through nourish
ment—the kind of nourish
ment that cannot be ob
tained in ordinary food.

Bigger Yields
A given number of acres fertilized with Farmers’ Bone produce a
greater yield of cotton, than the same acreage with ordinary fertilizer.
Farmers’ Bone does more than that. It makes it possible to reduce
the acreage and increase the yield. Try it this year. The man
who uses
FARMERS’ BONE
Made With Fish
has twenty-one years of fertilizer experience back of him. Over
13,000 carloads of Royster fertilizers were used on the crops of 1905.
This volume of business stamps Farmers' Bone the best.
