DO THIS FIRST-yOU!

You know, and every physician
knows, that when any sickness has
passed, whether 1t be throat trouble,
organic disturbances, contagious dis
eases, or even a severe cold, a relapse
is feared, because sickness robs the
system Of Natures resistance and
leaves it subject to lingering germs.
Drugs never build up a WORKOUT
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-
sion aftersickness. Nurses everywhere
advocate It SCOTS is pure medicinal
food, without alcohol or drugs.
