OHE above picture of the
man and fish is the trade
mark of Scott's Emulsion,
and is the synonym for
strength and purity. It is sold
in almost all the civilized coun
tries of the globe.
If the cod fish became extinct
it would l>e a world-wide calam
ity, liecause the oil that comes
from its liver surpasses all other
fata in nourishing and life-giving
properties. Thirty years ago
the proprietors of Scott's Emul
sion found a way of preparing
cod liver oil so that everyone can
tuke it and get the full value of
the oil without the objectionable
taste. Scott's Emulsion is the
l)est thing in the world for weak,
backward children, thin, delicate
people, and all conditions of
wasting and lost strength.
