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.
