You may have heard
about SCOTT'S EMULSION
0 and have a vauue notion
?.thct it is cod-liver oil with
a its bad taste and smell and
6 all its other repulsive fea
9 tures. It is cod-liver oil, the
purest and the best in the
d world, but made so palata
ble that almost everybody
can take it.' Nearly all
children like it and ask for
more. . ;
SGOTF'S
EMULSION
looks like cream; it nour
ishes the wasted body of
the baby, child or adult
a J at
Dcuer man cream or any
other food in existence, ft
bears about the same rela
tion to other emulsions that
cream does to milk. I f you
have had any experience
with other so-called "just as
good' preparations, you
will find that this is a fact.
The hypophosphites that are
co:nbincd with the cod-liver oil
've' additional value to It because
they tone up the nervous mtem
and impart strength to the whole
body.
