Poor Blood
is Responsible

for much sickness and suffer
ing because its quality deter
mines our resistive power.
With poor blood we are lam
guild, susceptible to colds, lack
natural energy and ambition,
and the G. 'ual decline of
strength makes prompt and
careful treatment necessary.
Drugs or alcohol cannot make
blood and must be avoided.
ScoTT's EMULSION is natures
grandest blood-maker because
of its wholesome medical nourishment,
so carefully predigested that it assimi-
lates without taxing digestion and
quickly increases the red corpuscles
of the blood, strengthens the organs
and tissues and upbuilds the whole
system.
Absolutely nothing compares with
ScorT's EMULSION to purify and en-
rich the blood to overcome or avoid
anaemia. 1t is totally free from al
cohol or opiates and your health de-
mands the purity of SORTS.
