DO This FiRST-Y0U!

You Know, and every physician
knows, that when any sickness has
passed, whether it be throat trouble,
organic disturbances, contagious dis
eases, or even severe cold, relapse
is feared, because sickness robs the
system OF Natures resistance and
leaves it subject to lingering germs.
Drugs never build up worn-out
body-only food can do that, and the
first thing to take after any sickness is
the concentrated, blood making oil
food in SCOTS Emulsion, which feeds
the tissues, benefits the blood and
strengthens both lungs and throat.
Physicians prescribe Scots Emul-
