SCOTT'S EMULSION is richest Norwegian cod-liver oil, elaborated in a scien- tific manner, very much as Nature wraps up each globule of butter-fat. Scott’s is not unlike cream in consistency, but many assimilate it easier than they do other fats. Scott’s Emulsion is concentrated nourishment that helps keep the body strong. Give it a trial.
