We do not nccd to give all the rcasons why Scott's Emulsion restores the strength and flesh and color of good health to those who suffer from sick blood. The fact that it is the best preparation of Cod Liver Oil, rich in nutrition, full of healthy stimulation is a suggestion as to why it does what it docs. Scott's Emulsion prcsents God Liver Oil at its best, fullest in strengtlr, least in taste. Young women in their " teens " are permanently cured of the peculiar disease of the blood which shows itself in by regular treatment with Scott's Emulsion.
