They grow hard in time, but the period of their growth is a critical one. Loose joints, bow-legs, en larged head and hip disease are evidences of rickets. If not checked they lead to de formities of a permanent character. This is the natural result of improper bone nour ishment during the period of bone development. The child needs mineral substance to harden the bones and this is plentifully supplied in the hypophos phites of lime and soda con tained in Scott's Emulsion. The cod liver oil provides the element of fat needed to rein force the child's ordinary food. Thus Scott's Emulsion offers in a perfect combina tion the very principles of proper bone and flesh nour ishment most needed by a Q ymn child. The action of , , . . - , .1 . tlie limuision is so niiiu uuu the most delicate stomach will accept and retain it. This makes Scott's Emulsion of particular value to weak children and very young babies who are in absolute need of a mild yet effective : food-medicine. Pale-faced children show they are not getting what they ought to get from their food. They need Scott's Emulsion to enrich their blood and give them strength to start on the right road to a healthy growth. If a child is thin, backward in growth, or slow in de velopment it will be found that Scott's Emulsion will quickly help it. There is nothing better for babies and growing children than Scott's Emulsion. We'll send you a sample free upon request. you SCOTT & 409 Pearl St., BOWNE, New York.
