Have
Hearts
out?
You may have
about SCOTT’S EMULSION
and have a vague
that it is cod-liver oil
its bad taste and smell and
all its other repulsive fea
tures. It is cod-liver oil, the
purest and the best in the
world, but made so palata
ble that almost everybody
can take it. Nearly ail
children like it and ask for
more.
SCOTT’S
EMULSION
looks like cream; it nour¬
ishes the wasted body of
the baby, child or aduit
better than cream or any
other food in existence, it
bears about the same rela¬
tion to other emulsions that
cream docs to milk. If you
have had any experience
with other so-called “just as
good” preparations, you
will find that this is a fact.
The hypophosphites that are
combined with the cod-liver oil
give additional value to it because
they tone up the nervous system
and impart strength to the whole
body.
