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 q food,
yet combining the vital prin-
ciples of both. 1t is for this
reason that SCOTS Emulsion
has distinct and special
value in all wasting diseases.
There is nothing better to
remedy the troubles of i'm.
perfect growth and delicate
health in children. The action
of SCOTS Emulsion is just as
effective in treating weak
ness and wasting in adults.
