BRIGHTER CHILDREN

Children are probably orlgnterto-day
than a generation ago-but are they
stronger? That's grave question.
So many pinched faces, dulled eyes
and anguid feelings make us wonder
if they will ever grow into robust
healthy men and women.
If your children catch colds easily,
are tired when rising, lack healthy
color, or find studies difficult, give
them SCOTS Emulsion for one month
to enrich their blood and restore the
body-forces to healthy action.
SCOTS Emulsion is used in private
schools. 1t is not patent medicine"
simply a highly concentrated oil-food i,
without alcohol or harmful drugs. 1t
cannot harm; it improves blood; it bene-
fits lungs and strengthens the system.
Your druggist has it-refuse substitutes.
