Grippe or Influenza, whichever you like
to call it, is one of the most weakening
diseases known.
Scott's Emulsion, which is Cod
Liver Oil and Hypophosphites in easily di
gested form, is the greatest strength-builder
known to medical science.
It is so easily digested that it sinks into
the system, making new blood and new fat,
and strengthening nerves and muscles.
Use Scott's Emulsion after
Influenza.
Invaluable for Coughs and Colds.
