MAKING IT PLAIN

The Pure Food and Drug Laws aim
% protect the public by preventing
nis-statements on the labels Of prepa-
,ations but some people continue to
accept extracts" of cod liners think
ing they will get the benefits of an
emulsion of cod liver oil.
The difference is very great. An
emulsion" contains real eod liner oil,
which has had the hearty endorse
ment of the medical profession for
many years, while an "extract" is a
product which contains no oil and is
highly alcoholic.
SCOTS Emulsion guarantees the high
est grade of real Norwegian cod hsev oil,
skilfully blended with glycerine and
hypophosphites. SCOTS is free from the
false stimulation of alcohol and Is en-
dorsed by good physicians everywhere.
