HowTo Gain Flesh Persons have been known to gain a pound a day by taking an ounce of SCOTT’S EMULSION. It is strange, but it often happens. Somehow the ounce produces the pound.; it seems to start tlfe digestive machinery going properly,, so that the patient is able to digest and absorb his ordinary food, which he could not do before, and that is the way the gain is made. A certain amount of flesh is necessary for health; if you hpvc not got it you can get it by taking Scotrs pmnsion You will find it just as useful in summer as in winter, and if you are thriving upon it don’t stop because the weather is warm.
