MOTHER AND BABE

Sick mother-sick child
That's the way it works when
a mother is nursing her infant.
SCOTS Emulsion is an ideal
medicine for nursing mothers.
1t has a direct effect on the
milk. Sometimes the mother
is weak; her thin milk does not
make the baby grow. SCOTS
Emulsion changes all that.
The rich cod-liver oil in SCOTS
Emulsion feeds the mother and
gives a flow of rich, nourishing
milk for the baby.
The medicine in SCOTS

the mother but goes naturally
through the milk and strength
