Children are brighter to-day than
a generation ago—but are they
stronger? That’s a grave question.
So many pinched faces, dylled eyes
and languid feelings make us wonder
if they will ever grow into robust,
| healthy men and women.
If your childrepeeatch colds, are
tired when rising, lack healthy color,
or find studies difficult, give them
Scott’s Emulsion to enrich their
blood and restore the body-forces
to healthy action.
Scott's Emulsion is used in
private schools. It is not a “patent
medicine”’, simply a concefitrated food
| tonic, free from alcohol to improve
the blood, benefit the lungs and
strengthen the system. Your druggist
has it—always refuse substitutes,
