Does Baby
Thrive?
If your baby is delicate
and sickly and its food does
not nourish it, put fifteen
or twenty drops of Scott’s
Emulsion in its bottle three
or four times a day and you
will see a marked change.
We have had abundant
proof that they will thrive
on this emulsion when other
food fails to nourish them.
It is the same with larger
children that are delicate.
Scott’s Emulsion seems to be
the element lacking in their
food. Do not fail to try it if
your children do not thrive.
Tt is as useful for them in
summer as in winter.
Ask your doctor if this is not true,
