grip. When the fever is gone
the body is left weak and OK
hansted; 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.
SCOTS Emulsion will do it;
contains just what the worn
out system needs.
Rich blood, healthy flesh,
resistivc force, more and better
nourishmcnt are what SCOTS
Emulsion supplies to the
convalcsCcnt.
SCOTS Emulsion is the
original and has been the
standard emulsion of cod liver

Why buy the new, untitled,

wines, cordials and extracts
OF cod liver oil, when you can
buy what is sure to help you?
