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 full of fat.
SCOTS Emulsion makes new
blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with
the richest of all fats, the pure
