Consumption Takes
$50 People Every Day

in the United States and the sur
prising truth is that most cases are
preventable with timely, intelligent
treatment
These appalling facts should warn
MS that after sickness, colds, over
work or any other drains upon
strength, SCOTS Emulsion should
be promptly and regularly used be-
cause tubercular germs thrive only
in a weakened system.
The tested and proven value of
SCOTS Emulsion is recognized by
the greatest specialists because its
medical nourishment assilnilates
quickly to build healthy tissue;
aids in the development of active,
DEMONSTRATING blood corpuscles;
strengthens the lungs and builds
physical force without reaction.
SCOTS Emulsion is used in tuber-
culosis camps because of its rare
building, blood making prop
critics and because it contains no
alcohol or habit-forming drug.
Be sure to insist on SCOTS.
