You?
Vitality?
The essence of life it force.
Every breathyou bretlie,every
heart beat, every motion of
your hand, takes force. The
me&su'e of force we call vital

lost of flesh, lack of resistive
power, a tendency to catch di

ency to Consumption. For low
vitality nothing; is better than
Scott's Emulsion. It supplies
force by furnishing the nourishing-,
