â€"â€"-That's what a prominent druggist said of Scott's Emulsion a short time ago. 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 ac t i o n 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- mentâ€"the kind of nourish- ment that cannot be ob- tained in ordinary food. No system is too weak or delicate to retain Scott's Emulsion and gather good from it.

The in- surance of ships was undoubtedly part of the business of the Hanseaiic League, which was formed about 1140 by the port towns of Germany to protect them- selves against the pirates of Sweden and Denmark. The custom of draw- ing out insurance policies originated in Florence in 1523, although a regular Chamber of Insurance was formed rt Bruges early in the -f0urteenth century, and the practice was in general use in taly in 1104, and in England in 1560.
