But until recently the reasons for the amazing virtues of the oil were not clearly understood. Then scien- tists discovered vitamins, and it became known that the value of cod-liver oil lay almost entirely in its richness in the fat-soluble yitamins. But then a disturbing fact became apparent. The vitamins in cod-liver oil were easily lost in the process of preparation and transportation. Thus there was danger that an oil upon which people depended for its restorative, growth-pro- moting, life-giving effects might prove “seriously lacking in these virtues. Characteristically, the house of E. R! Squibb & Sons, chemists to the medical and dental profes- sions since 1858, were the first to solve this newly apparent difficulty. Squibb’s Cod-Liver Oil is pre- pared under a special, exclusive process, developed in the Squibb Laboratories, which protects the oil from loss of vitamins. It is the only cod-liver oil that gives assurance of high vitamin content when it reaches the consumer. The special vitamin-preserving process alsc makes the oil much more palatable. It is quite uniike the ordinary cod-liver oil in taste. And since it is so exceptionally rich in vitamins the usual dose is smaller. Thus Squibb’s Cod- Liver Oil is actually more economical, as well as more effective. So it is best to insist upon Squibb’s when you need cod-liver oil. Family Half YearlyClearance Last call!
