NO SECRET.
There is no secret about
Scott's Emulsion of Cod
Diver Oil. Ihe label tells
the whole story. There is a
knack in making it. The
only secret about it is the
secret of its success.
This year, when cod liver
oil is very scarce and high,
all kinds' of cheap, inferior
oils are used to take its place,
and all sorts of things pre
sented as substitutes. I hink
of petroleum being taken as
a substitute for cod liver oil!
—too absurd. 1 hink of the
so-called vines, extracts and
cordials of cod liver oil!
—they are simply the shadow
without the substancej no
food value in them.
Scott's Emulsion “ The
Old Reliable” is the same
yesterday, to-day and forever.
Its quality and purity can
be absolutely depended upon
at all times.
