THE VALUE Of TRUTH

Truthia BUSINESSES just as important
as truth in everyday life; truth creates
confidence. establishes goodwill and
builds a reliability that will not be

The popularity of SCOTS Emulsion
is increasing as intelligence advances,

time you inhale the sweet fragrant air
Of Hyomei through this little device you
