It may wear itself out in time, but it is more liable to produce la grippe, pneumonia or a seri ous throat affection. You need something that will give you strength and build up the body. SCOTT'S EMULSION will do this when everything ebe Fails. There is no doubt bout it It nourishes, strengthens, builds up and makes the body strong and healthy, not only to throw off this hard cough, but to fortify the system against further attacks. If you are run down or emaciated you should certainly take this nourishing food medicine. uc. .ltd ti.oo, ilUrutctiW. 3COTT a BOWNIlf CtwmUH, Ntw Yofk. Fl'NEIIAt, OF IIAYE8 B. TAYLOR. Hayes B.
