A MISTAKEN idea

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