A MISTAKEN IDEA

There are some people who still resort
TO dugged pills or alcoholic syrups to
overcome colds, nervousness or general
debility, and who know that the pure,
unauthorized nourishment in Scott 5
Emulsion is emiuently better, but refrain
from taking it because they fear 1t may
lead to excessive fat or obesity.
This is a mistaken idea, because Scott S
Emulsion first strengthens the body before
making flesh. It's blood-forming proper
ties aid nature to throw off sickness by
building health from its very source, and
flesh is formed only by its continued use.
Avoid alcoholic substitutes for SCOTS 5.
