AON TO GET STRENGTH

after any sickness is purely matter Of
nourishment, whether the attack was
an ordinary cold or severe illness; the
weakened forces cannot repulse disease
germs, and this is why a relapse Is 50
often fatal OF why chronic weakness often
follows sickness.
Restoring strength to millions of people
for forty years has proven the real need
for taking Scctt's Emulsion after any
sickness; nothing equals it nothing
compares with Il. It's pure, medicinal
nonishment, free from alcohol Or opiates.
