HOPEFUL VIEW

The hopeful view consump.
tives take of their own cases is
strongly in their favor. Each
year is showing a larger per-
centage of cures.
One of the best reasons for
good hope is the record of
SCOTS Emulsion as a medicine
for ~consumptives. SO long as
the system is strong enough to
use medicine of any kind it can
use SCOTS Emulsion.
The reason for its helpful
ness in this disease is because
of its long tolerance by the
patient; one does not tire of
it as quickly as other medi-
cines and that is where the
great benefit comes.
