[Illustration: THE LINE OF LIFE. ENO'S FRUIT SALT.] ENO'S 'FRUIT SALT' prevents unnecessary suffering and removes disease only by natural laws. READ the 20-page pamphlet given with each bottle! ENO'S 'FRUIT SALT' rectifies the Stomach, and makes the Liver laugh with joy by natural means (Or, in other words, Gentleness does more than Violence.) Its universal success proves the truth of the above assertion. _MORAL FOR ALL_-- "I need not be missed if another succeed me; To reap down those fields which in spring I have sown. He who ploughed and who sowed is not missed by the reaper, He is only remembered by what he has done." The effect of Eno's 'Fruit Salt' upon any Disordered and Feverish Condition is Simply Marvellous. It is, in fact, Nature's Own Remedy, and is an Unsurpassed One. CAUTION.--_Examine the Capsule, and see that it is marked ENO'S 'FRUIT SALT,' otherwise you have the sincerest form of flattery--IMITATION._ Prepared only by J. C.

THOMPSON. =St. James' Gazette=:--"There is indeed no more fascinating reading ... very pleasant and readable.... It is full of good reading, with some rather creepy and _saugrenu_ dippings into the past." =Daily Chronicle=:--"Poison is always a fascinating subject. There is something subtle and mystic about the very word. On this attractive theme Mr. THOMPSON has collected a great deal of information from ancient and modern alike." =Daily Mail=:--"People who are fond of prying into the gruesome subject of toxicology will find some interesting chapters in Mr. C. J. S. THOMPSON'S book." =The Athenæum=:--"Decidedly sensible and well informed." =Literature=:--"Mr. THOMPSON writes a sprightly chapter on toxicology in fiction." =The Saturday Review=:--"A great deal of curious information concerning the history of poisons and poisonings." =Illustrated London News=:--"The story portions will attract most attention, and the poisoned gloves and rings of old romance supply satisfaction to that sensational instinct which is absent in hardly one of us."
