For Thin
Babies

Fat is of great account
to a baby that is why
babies are fat. If your
baby is scrawny, SCOTS
! + IN ulSion is what he
wants. The healthy baby
stores as fat what it does
not need Immediately for
bone and m us Gle. Fat
babies are happy they do
not cry they are rich ;
heir fat is laid up for
time of need. They are
happy because they are
comfortable. The fat sur
rounds their little nerves
and cushions them. When
they are scrawny those
nerves are hurt at every
ungentle uch. They
delight in SCOTS Emul-
sion. 1t is as sweet as
