Stop the
Blight

1t is a 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 is worse to see a blight
strike children. Good health
is the natural right Of children.
But some of them don't get

strength that makes things
grow.
SCOTS Emulsion makes
children grow makes them cat,
makes them sleep, makes them
play. Give the weak child a
chance. SCOTS Emulsion will
