night have resulted from his terri
cough if he had not taken the
medicine about whioh he writes :
"I had a fearful cough, that dis
turbed my night's rest. I tried
everything, but nothing would re

Coughs and Colds, which com
pletely cured me." Instantly re

FOR BOTH
One disease of thinness in
children is scrofulu; in adults,
consumption. Both have poor
blood ; both need more fat.
These diseases Thrive on lean
ness. Fat is the best means of
overcoming them; cod liver oil
innkea the best and healthiest
fat and
SCOTT'S
EMULSION
is the easiest and most effective
form of cod liver oil. Here's a
natural order of things that
shows why Scott's Emulsion is
of so much value in all cases of
scrofula and consumption. More
fat, more weight, moie nourish
ment, that's why.
