If so, there must be some trouble with its food. Well babies are plump? only the sick are thin. Are you sure the food is all right? Chil dren can't help but grow ; they must grow if their food ? nourishes them. Perhaps a !mistake was made in the past and as a result the di gestion is weakened. If that is so, don't give the baby a lot of medicine; just use your every-day common sense and help nature a little, and the way to do it is to add half a teaspoon ful of SCOTT'S EMULSION to the baby's food three or four times a day. The gain will begin the very first day you give it. lt seems to correct the digestion and gets the baby started right again. If the baby is nurs ing but does not thrive, then the mother should take the emulsion, lt will have a good effect both upon the mother and child. Twenty five years proves this fact.
