TOO MANY CHILDREN

are under-size, under-weight
with piuchcd faces and poor blood; they
do not complain but appetite lags, they
have no ambition and do not progress.
Such children need the rich medicinal
nourishment in SCOTS Emulation above
everything else; its pure cod liver oil con-
tsins natures own blood-forming, flesh
building fats which quickly show in rosy
cheeks, better appetite, firm flesh and
sturdy frames.
If your children are lang,iid, tired
when rising, catch cold easily or find
their studies difficult, give them Scoff's
Emuision; it supplies the very food ele-
ments that their systems lack.
Scots Emulsion contains no alcohol
and is so good for growing children it's q
pity to keep it from them.
