Doctors say take Cod Litter Oil-they undoubtedly mean Scott's Emulsion, It would be just as sensible for them to prescribe Quinine in its crude form as to pre scribe Cod Liver Oil in its natural state. In Scott's Emulsion the oil is emulsified and made easy to take-easy to digest and easy to be absorbed in to the body-and is the most natural and useful fatty food to feed and nourish the wasted body that is known in medicine today. Nothing can be found to take its place. If you are run-down you should take it.
