IIjlnard's Liniment Cures Distemper. ISSUE NO. 52, 1901, Barnum's Monkeys "All well—all happy—lots of fun". That is the r#gu:ar report from the monkey cage of Barnum's Circus ever since the keepers began dosing the monkeys with Scott's Emul- sion. Consumption was carry- ing arry-ing off two thirds of then, every year and the circus had to buy new ones. One day a keeper accident- ally broke a bottle of Scutt., Emulsion near the monk- l• cage and the monkeys eagerly lapped it up front the flour. This suggested the idea that it might do them good. Since then the monkeys have received regular doses and the keepers report very few deaths from consumption. Of course it's cheaper to buy Scott's Emul- sion than new monkeys—and that suits the circus men. Consumption in monkeys and in man is the same disease. If you have it or are threaten- ed with jt can you take the hint? V-.--,-. 1I it: This picture represents Mark ti the Trade M t a of Emulsion and is on ale wrapper of every bottle.
