SCHOOL GIRLS.

'Tis a pretty age-that time
in a girls life when she has all
the beauties of w~omanhood
without the later lines of care
and worry.
But here and there even
among school girls appear pale
and drawn faces.
Pale blood is at the bottom
of the trouble and SCOTS
Emulsion can cure it.
SCOTS Emulsion brings
back the beauty to pale girls
because it is blood food.
