DO THIS FIRST-YOU!

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-makmg oil food in Scott's Emulsion, which feeds the tissues, benefits the blood and strengthens both lungs and throat.
 Physicians prescribe Scott's Emul- sion after sickness. urseseverywhere advocate it. Scott's is pure medicinal food, without alcohol or drugs.
