The highest medical authority
on fo ods
Sir James Crichton Browne LL D F R S
of London
gives the best reasons for eating more
Quaker Scotch Oats
In an article published in the
Youths Companion of Septem-
ber 23rd 1900 Dr Brotvne the
rjreat medical authority on
footlf sajs about brain and
muscle building
There is one kind of food
that seems to me of marked
value as a food Co the bram and
to the whole body throughout
childhood and adolescence
youth and that is oatmeal
Oats are the mostnutritious
of all the cereals being richer
in luts organic phosphorus and
lecithins
He says oatmeal is gaining
ground with the welltodo of
Great Britain He speaks of it
as the mainstay of the Scottish
laborers diet and sajs it pro
duces a bigboned welldevel
oped mentally energetic race
His experiments prove InSt
good oatmeal such as Quaker
Scotch Oats not only furnishes
the best food for the human be-
ing but eating it strengthens
and enlarges the thjroid gland
this gland is intijrlafely con-
nected with the nourishing pro-
cesses of the body
In conqlusion he sajs
It seems probable therefore
that theliulk and brannine > k of
the Northerners meaning the
Scotch has been in some measure
due to the stimulation of the
thyroid gland by oatmeil por-
ridge in childhood
The Scotch eat Quaker Scotch
Oats because it is the best of
all oatmeals
In Bad Fix
I had a mishap at the age of 41 which left me In bad
fix writes Mrs Georgia Usher of Conyers Ga
I was unconscious for three days and after that I
would have fainting spells dizziness ncivousness sick
headache heart palpitation and many strange feelings
I suffered greatly with ailments due to the change of
life and had 3 doctors but they did no good so I concluded
to try Cardui
Since taking Cardui 1 am so much better and can do
all my housework
CARDUI
The Womans Tonic
Do not allow yourself to get into a bad fix You might
get in so bad you would find it hard to get out
Better take Cardui while there is time while you are
still in moderately good health just to conserve your strength
and keep you in tip top condition
In tins way your troubles whatever they are will grad-
ually grow smaller instead of larger you will be on the
upgrade Instead of the down and by and bye you will
arrive at the north pole of perfect health
