Too fat, consult a doctor; too thin, persistently thin, no matter what cause, take Sqott’s Emulsion of Cod Live; Oil. There are many causes of get ting too thin; they all come under these two heads: over work and under-digestion. Stop over-work, if you can; but, whether you can or not, take Scott’s Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil, to balance yourself with your work. You can’t live on it—true—but, by it, you can. There’s a limit, However; you’ll pay for it. Scott’s Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil is the readiest cure for “can’t eat,” unless it comes of your doing no work--you can’t long be well and strong, without some sort of activity.
