BOTH FOOD
AND MEDICINE.

We like best to call Scots
Emulsion a food-medicine. 1t
is a term that aptly describes
the character and action of
our Emulsion. More than a
medicine-more than a food,
yet combining the vital prin-
ciplcs Of both. 1t is for this
reason that SCOTS Emulsion
has a distinct and special
value in all wasting diseases.
There is nothing better to

health in children. The action
Of SCOTS Emulsion is just as
effective in treating weak
