WASTING AWAY

It's the small but constant
loss of flesh that indicates
physical waste - the gradual
slipping away of healthy flesh,
pound by pound, which no
ordinary food seems to re-
store. SCOTS Emulsion will
restore it. This Emulsion is
the greatest flesh builder OBJ
tainable. SCOTS Emulsion
first stops the wasting-that's
one gain. Then when it sup
plies new flesh and takes one
back to normal strength and
weight, that's another gain
and a big one.
