The marines were dispatched at the
request of the State Department follow

Keep Your Lungs Strong

This advice is doubly important with
the knowledge that every three minutes
some one in the United States succumbs
to consumption and many refuse to
realize they are afflicted until tits too late.
II is after colds or sickness, from over
work, conhning duties or when general
weakness exists that tubercular germs
thrive because the resistive powers of
the body are weakened.
Only with fresh -ir, sunshine and
abundant rich blood can one hope to
arrest their progress, and the concen-
trated fats in Scott's Emulsion furnish
fuel for rich blood, and its rare nourish-
ment helps strengthen the lungs while
it builds up the forces.
If YOU work indoors, tire easily, feel
languid or rundown SCOTS Emulsion is
the most strengthening food-medicine
known and is free from alcohol or stupe-
fying drugs Avoid substitutes.
