A BREATHING SPELL.

If the consumptive could only
keep from getting worse it would
be some encouragement.
SCOTS Emulsion at least gives
tired nature a breathing spell.
The nourishment and strength
obtained from SCOTS Emulsion
are a great relief to the exhausted
system.
This treatment alone often
enables the consumptive to
gather force enough to throw off
the disease altogether.
