A.WORD FOR MOTHERS

It is grave mistake for mothers to neg
lect their aches and pains and suffer In
silence-this only leads to chronic sick
ness and often shortens life.
If your work is firing; if your nerves are
excitable; if you feel 1anguid, weary or
depressed, you should know that Scott S
Emulsion overcomes just such conditions.
It possesses in concentrated form the
very elements to invigorate the blood,
strengthen the tissues, nourish the nerves
and build strength.
Scott's is strengthening thousands OF
mothers-and will help you. No alcohol.
