burgh, Pa.
When hundreds upon hundreds OF
people tell you of just such recovery,
just such gains in weight, 1t must
be worth your trying, at least. A
trial costs nothing.
Milks Emulsion is a peasant, nutr1-
tive food and a corrective medicine.
1t restores healthy, natural bowel
action, doing away with all need OF
pills and physics. 1t promotes appe-
tite and quickly puts the digestive
organs in shape to assimilate food.
AS a builder of flesh and strength,
Milks Emulsion is strongly recon-
mended to those whom sickness has
weakened, and is a powerful aid in
resisting and repairing the effects OF
wasting diseases. Chronic stomach
trouble and constipation are prompt
ly relieved-usually in IN day. 1T
produces remarkable results in colds,
coughs and bronchial asthma.
This is the only solid emulsion
made, and so palatable that 1t Is
eaten with a spoon like ice cream.
Truly wonderful for weak, sichly chill
dren.
No matter how severe your case,
you are urged to try Milks Emulsion
under this guarantee-Take six
bottles home with you. use 1t accord.
