K.RMS IBnlopticoi for slides and ..Ny opaque objects

we would be unable to use the standard lantern slide projector unless the room could be well darkened. Fortunately however, modern science has provided special lenses and screens by which it is possible to project in daylight.

"Daylight Projection" is a new development that should be taken advantage of by every educational institution. Special lanterns (or attach- ments for use with models now in use) make it possible to project slides, opaque objects or strip film under daylight conditions as well as in the dark. If you are interested in modern projection apparatus fill in the coupon and let us help you.

Dr. EDWIN E. SLOSSON SAID: In the November issue of THE SCIENTIFIC MONTHLY, that ultra-violet rays greatly benefit and often cure children crippled by rickets or tubercular joints. SCIENCE recently published reports from Yale Medical School, that ultra-violet light was stored up in cod liver oil and was only released within the body during digestion. This was assumed to be the explanation of its curative properties.

TESTED COD LIVER OIL-HARRIS is standardized physiologically and exceeds the requirements of the U. S. PharmacopcBia in purity.

This Brand was the first offered with a physiological standard and is the only brand available today with tests and evidences for its power to cure rickets-by the baby chick method. F THAT IS WHY PHYSICIANS SPECIFY
