HavcYou Heard Of II ? You may have heard about SCOTT’S EMULSION and have a vague notion that it is cod-liver oil with its bad taste and smell and all its other repulsive features. It is cod-liver oil, the purest and the best in the world, but made so palatable that almost everybody can take it. Nearly all children like it and ask for more. SCOTT'S EMULSION looks like cream; it nourishes the wasted body of the baby, child or adult better than cream or any other food in existence. It bears about the same relation to other emulsions that cream does to milk. If you have had any experience with other so-called “just as good" preparations, you will find that this is a fact. - ■ im cmmMnnl wiiii tht oil SadWMioml value to It bncatm b** yoc. ■i.OD, all orWgjpwtM.
