Bears the AS ihlKid YEiliaMo Ahways B0Ug~m Signaturo Consumption 4J There is no specific for consumption. Fresh air, ex ercise, nourishing food and Scott's Emulsion will come pretty near curing it, if there is anything to build on. Mil lions of people throughout the world are living and in good health on one lung. Ii From time immemorial the doctors prescribed cod liver oil for consumption. Of course the patient could not take it in its old form, hence it did very little'good. They can take SCOTT'S EMULSION. and tolerate it for a long time. There is no oil, not excepting butter, so easily digested and absorbed by the system as cod liver oil in the form of Scott's Emulsion, antd tha t is the reason it is so 1e. ul. in~ cou1sumption where i I iv he continuous. u..il send you a sage free.o A" Cut Dawn and Diversify. e ' Editoir: Aus Ist yetar's big oo -tcoy ('11 1 1 a b4(I dil ssed from al." 1104 1v-,try* Itlndpo"int, I wishl t-> give mY vi. wH.
