A DIMPiE MAKER.

Find a child with dimples
and chubby arms and legs
and you find a healthy child.
Find one with drawn face
and poor, thin body and you
see one that needs SCOTS
Emulsion. Your doctor will
no doubt tell you the child is
fat-starved-its food is not
nourishing it.
Nothing helps these thin,
pale children like SCOTS
Emulsion. 1t contains the
very element of fat they need.
II supplies them with a per-
feet and quickly digested
nourishment. SCOTS Emul-
sion brings dimples and
rounded limbs.
