Like the running brook, the red blood that flows through the veins has to come from somewhere. The springs of red blood are found in the soft core of the bones called the marrow and some say red blood also comes from the spleen. Healthy bone marrow and healthy spleen are full of fat. Scott's Emulsion makes new blood by 'feeding the bone marrow and the spleen with the richest of all fats, the pure rnrl livpr nil.

It not only feeds the blood-making organs but o o gives them strength to do their proper work. Send for free sample. SCOTT & BOWXE, Chemists, 409-415 Pcarl fctreet.
