Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con
sumption. “Eat plenty of
pork,” was the advice to the
consumptive 50 and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is) the
food the consumptive needs
most.
Scott’s Emulsionisthemod
ern method of feeding fat to
the consumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs.
Scott’s Emulsion is the most
refined of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
Scott’s Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hypophos
phites in Scott’s Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has a special
action on the diseased lungs.
«=<— A sample will be
||b sent free upon request.
k Be sure that this picture in
the form of a label is on the
gyJ wrapper of every bottle of
Emulsion you buy.
