A DIFFERENCE
IN LUNGS.

In the Edinburgh Uni
versity three human lungs lie
side by side. One is of an
Eskimo and is snow white.
In life, this would be ruddy
with rich blood. Another is
that of a coal-miner and is
black. The other is of town
dweller and is a dirty slate
gray, as are the lungs of most
city residents. That's why
consumption thrives in cities.
One reason why SCOTS
Emulsion does so much to
keep down consumption is
because it helps to keep the
lungs clean and supplies
them with rich, red blood. 1t
makes the lungs germ-re-
sisting. If the body is run
down and health is at a low
ebb SCOTS Emulsion will
build it up quickly and per-
manently.
