SCOTT’'S EMULSION. Consumption i Like a Plant, ~ No matter how much corn falls on a bare rock, it wont grow there. Neither will con- sumption germs grow in per- fectly healthy lungs. But if the lungs become weakland inflamed they are good soil for consumption germs, and if these enter they may take root and grow. There is no medicine that will directly weed them out. The thing to do' is to make the lungs so healthy that the germs wilk have to stop grow- ing bec’i‘use there is nothing for them to thrive on. The lungs must be nour- ished with plenty of good blood, kept pure by breath- ing pure air. There must be more_sleep; less work and worry. Perhaps some medi- cine. The doctor will know. The most important thing is nourishment. When the body is weakened by con- sumption, the digestive pow- ers-cannot obtain from otdi- dinary food enough of the elements needed to make good blood. The lack.is best supplied by the use of Scott’s Emulsion. It is extremely rich in the substances which make good blood, and it also helps the digestion to obtain nourishment from ordinary food. Scott’s Emulsion is a food- medicine; not a stimulant; not a mere “extract” or so- called “wine” of cod liver oil. It contains the whole oil per- fectly emulsified, which is the only way.of preserving: its valuable properties. - These are united with hypophos- phites of lime and soda into a combination which rapidly builds healty tissue through- cat the whole body, and par- ticularly in the lungs.
