SCOTS EMULSION.
Back of
the Cough

There's more TO a cough
than the tickling sensation in
the throat. There's a cold
behind that and a weak spot
to be strengthened.
Cough mixtures get as far
as the tickling sensation in
the throat that is where their
work stops. They may re.
Iieve the cough. but they do
not cure the cold and GER
tainIy will not build up the
system. Their action is
therefore merely local and Of
necessity very limited.
SCOTS Emulsion does not
stop at the throat Ii eases
that too, but its mission is
beyond that. 1t not only
cures the cough, but it cures
the cold which is back Of the
cough. 1t searches out the
real cause Of the trouble and
corrects the wasting and
weakening conditions. In its
passage through the body it
distributes strength to the
worn out tissues, feeds the
blood corpuscles and tones
up the body. There is moth
ing better than SCOTS Emul-
sion to build up a run down
system after a cold. \
We will send a sample free 70
anycPe on request.
