The doctors say that this peculiar
affection is again very prevalent, but
in much milder form than when II
made its first appearance in 1890.
Doubtless physicians know how to
handle it better; but the best remedy
for the Grip, especially when one is
recovering. is SCOTS Emulsion OF

This is exactly what is needed TO
cure the lingering Cough, give
proper nourishment to the body and
strengthen it against further attacks
