NURSING MOTHERS

A richer milk than milk
IS good food for nursing
mothers. SCOTS Emulsion is
the rich cream of cod liver
oil, and contains ten times as
much cream as milk does.
The nursing mother must
eat with the purpose of pro-
ducing good, nourishing milk
for her baby. A little SCOTS
Emulsion is often a very wise
addition to her daily diet. 1f
through nervousness or weak
ness her milk is a failure,
SCOTS Emulsion will help
make it a success.
The baby gets the benefit,
too, when the mother takes
SCOTS Emulsion. The same
remedy brings new strength
and nourishment to both.
