How To Gain Flesh Persons have been Known to gain a pound a day by taking an ounce of SCOTT'S EMUL SION. It is strange, but it often happens. Somehow the ounce produces the pound; it seems to start the digestive machinery going prop erly, so that the patient is able to digest and absorb his ordinary food, which he could not do be fore, and that is the way the gain is made. A certain amount of flesh is necessary for health; if you have not got it you can get it by taking gCOITS pi'HSiOh You will find it just as useful in summer as in winter, and if you arc thriving upon it don't stop because the weather is warm. goc. and *1.00, all druggists.
