GRIP CONVALESCENCE

There's nothing better than Scott's Emulsion after Sthe grip. When the fever is gone the body is left weak and exhausted; the nervous system is completely run down and vitality is low
 Two things to do: give strength to the whole body and new force to the nerves. Scott's Emulsion will do it; contains just what the worn- out system needs.
 Rich blood, healthy flesh, resistive force, more and bet ter nourishment are what Scott's Emulsion supplies to the convalescent.
