The proposition TO name a COMMITTEES

that the committee would not agree and

The Changing Age

Girls and boys from II to 10 years
of age undergo physical changes which
tax their strength to the utmost, and
the strain is always apparent from
pale cheeks, colorless lips and tired
bodies-sometimes eruptions of the
skin and the utter lack of the ambi
ton and animation with which their
younger years were filled.
Budding into womanhood and man
hood, with the duties of school or
business, demands concentrated nour-
ishment which is readily convertible
into red blood corpuscles, energy and
strength and the very best thing for
this changing age is the medical nu-
triment in SCOTS Emulsion-itE pos
sesses the rare blood-making prop
critics of cod liver oil in predigested

system, with the healing, soothing
qualities of pure glycerine.
