SEVEN FROM ONE.
- It has been shown that one
bottle of Scott's Emulsion is
capable of building seven
times its weight of solid,
healthy flesh.
. How is this possible?
Because Scott's Emulsion
is one of the richest and most.
digestible of foods.
Because Scott's Emulsion
makes all good food do good.
Nothing of value to the body
is allowed to go to waste.
* Because Scott's Emulsion
makes the stomach strong,
the appetite keen and the
digestion perfect.
Because Scott's Emulsion
adds new flesh" to the body,
puts new blood in the veins
and feeds the fires of life
called vitality. '- -

this matter. After, counseling for nearly
two years, the Indians had just decided
that they were ready ^o take their land,

about to send a memorial to congress, ask

that they, be glypn' full citizenship at. the
