4 Scott's Emulsion is helping thousands
every day who could not find other relief.

rainbow trout caught in the Gunnison
river near Gunnison, Colo, weighing
from a half-pound to two pounds

not look much like the same number
of Vermont trout. / have caught
nearly $50 of these in the four weeks I
have spent in Gunnison.
