Emulsion

of Cod Liver Oil is the means
of life and enjoyment of life to
thousands: men, women and
children.
When appetite fails, It restores
it. When food is a burden, 1t
lifts the burden.
When you lose flesh, it brings
the plumpness of health.
When work is hard and duty
is heavy, it makes life bright.
It is the thin edge of the wedge;
the thick end is food. But
what is the use of food when
you hate it and can't digest it!
Sets Emulsion of Cod Liver
Oh IS the food that makec yJ4
forget your stomach.
