NOT A "PATENT

SCOTS Emulsion is not
a patent medicine" 1t

Your doctor can, no

about it as we could. We
have merely perfected the
method of blending the
Norwegian cod liver oil,
hypophosphites of lime
and soda and glycerine.
AS one grocer will blend
coffee better than another
SO we have succeeded in
making SCOTS Emulsion
a little better than any
other cod liver oil pre-
paration. There's no
"patent" and the only Sc
cret is the secret of know
ing how, with the per
fected mechanical means

SCOTS and you get the
