HAVE YOU WEAK LUNGS?
Do colds settle on your chest or in your
bronchial tubes? Do coughs hang on, or
are you subject to throat troubles?
Such troubles should have immediate
treatment with the strengthening powers
of Scott's Emulsion to guard against
consumption which so easily follows.
Scott's Emulsion contains pure cod liver
oil which peculiarly strengthens the res
piratory tract and improves the quality of
the blood; the glycerine In it soothes and
heals the tender membranes of the throat.
Scott's Is prescribed by the best special
ists. You can get it at any drug store.

Hence there's a continuous chain of boiling

Mixtures cannot have a continuous chain oi

as good motor fuel as pure straight-run gaso
