Spring storms first overturn those trees which are not well grounded. Don't let these enervating spring days find you poorly prepared to resist them. To have strong nerves, rich blood, good appetite and sound digestion is to be we'll grounded. Scott's Emulsion of Cod-liver Oil with Hypo- phosphites will give all these, because it nourishes the whole system and reaches the very tissues of life. Better have the spring cough blow by you rather than stop with you for weeks or all summer long.
