That's what a prominent
druggi said of SCOTS
Emulsion a S hort time
ago. AS a rule we don't
use or refer to testimonials
in addressing the public,
but the above remark and
similar expressions are
made so often in connec-
ton with SCOTS Emulsion
that they are worthy of
occasional note. From
infancy to old age SCOTS
Emulsion offers a reliable
means of remedying i'm
proper and weak develop
ment, restoring lost flesh
and vitality, and repairing
waste. The a ion of
SCOTS Emulsion is no
more of a secret than the
composition of the Emul-
sion itself. What it does
it does through nourish-
ment-the kind of nourish-
ment that cannot be OBJ
tanned in ordinary food.
No system is too weak or
delicate to retain SCOTS
Emulsion and gather good
from it.
