SOFT COPE

Like the running brook, the
red blood that flows through
the veins has to come from
somewhere.
The springs of red blood are
found in the soft core of the
bones called the marrow and
some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and healthy spleen
are foil Of fat.
Scots Emulsion makes new
blood By feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with
the richest of all fats, the pure
cod liver oil.
For pale school girls and
'nvalids and for all whose
blood IS thin and pale, SCOTS
Emulsion is 4 pleasant and rich
blood food. Il not only feeds
the Matchmaking organs but
gives them strength to do
their proper work.
