We hear great deal about
purifying the blood. The
way to purify it is to enrich
it. Blood is not a simple
fluid like water. 1t is made
up of minute bodies and
when these are deficient, the
blood lacks the life-giving
principle. SCOTS Emulsion is
not a mere blood purifier. 1t
actually increases the number
of the red corpuscles in the
blood and changes unhealthy
action into health.

of it we have a book, which
