350 People Every Day
in the United States and the sur
prising truth is that most cases are
preventable with timely, intelligent
treatment.
These appalling facts should warn
us that after sickness, colds, over
work or any other drains upon
strength, Scott's Emulsion should
be promptly and regularly used be
cause tubercular germs thrive only
iu a weakened system.
The tested and proven value of
Scott's Emulsion is recognized by
the greatest specialists because its
medical nourishment assimilates
quickly to build healthy tissue;
aids in the development of active,
life-sustaining blood corpuscles;
strengthens the lungs and builds
physical force without reaction.
Scott's Emulsion id used in tuber
culosis camps because of its rare
body-building, blood-making prop
erties and because it contains no
alcohol or habit-forming drug.
Be sure to insist on Scott's.
