Stop &he
Blight

1t is sad thing to see fine
fruit trees spoiled by the blight.
You can always tell them from
the rest. They never do well
afterwards but stay small and
sickly.
It's worse to see a blight
strike children. Good health
is the natural right of children.
But some of them don't get
their rights. While the rest
grow big and strong one stays
small and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion can stop
that blight. There is no
reason why such a child should
stay small. SCOTS Emulsion
is a medicine with lots of
strength in 1.-THE kind Of
strength that makes things
grow.

children grow, makes them eat,
them sleep, makes them
