Consumption is a human
weed' flourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young;
when old, sometimes im
possible. Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
Scott's Emulsion. Salt pork
i.i good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump
tion is U'hrn- vnn hfcrin trvinar
.. ------ j J'"t
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
' Don't wait. until you can't
deceive yourself - any; longer.
Uegin with the first tltfooajght
to take Scott's Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption so
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. - If it is consump
tion you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
Scott's Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.

We will send you
a little of the Emul
sion free.
