Feed pale girls on SCOTS
Emulsion.
We do rot need to give all
the reasons why SCOTS
Emulsion restores the strength
and flesh and color of good
health to those who suffer
from sick blood.
The fact that it is the best
preparation of Cod Liver Oil,
rich in nutrition, full of healthy
stimulation is a suggestion as
to why it does what it does.
SCOTS Emulsion presents
Cod Liver Oil at its best,
fullest in strength, least in
taste.
Young women in their
teens are permanently cured
OF the peculiar disease of the
blood which shows itself in
paleness, weakness andnervous-
ness, by regular treatment
with SCOTS Emulsion.
