If this action becomes irregular the whole body suffers. Poor health follows poor blood ; Scott's Emulsion makes the blood pure. One reason why SCOTT'S EMULSION is such a great aid is because it passes so quickly into the blood. It is partly digested before it enters the stomach ; a double advan8 tage in this. Less work 3 for the stomach; quicker and more direct benefits. To get the greatest amount of good with the least pos5 sible effort is the desire of s everyone in poor health. Scott's Emulsion does just that.
