There are two kinds of emulsions of cod liver oil— Scott’s and all the others. Not one of the latter is as valuable as Scott’s Emulsion and there’s a reason for it. Only the purest ingredients enter our Emulsion and its quality never varies. That is why it helps when all others fail. There’s not much oil in the market now; it’s scarce and high in price. But seal oil and other inferior oils are cheap and plentiful, That's why you can buy so many substitutes for Scott's Emul- sion at a lower price.
