Eight cent s a pound is
what a young woman paid for
twelve pounds of flesh.
She was thin and weak and
paid one dollar for a bottle of
Scott's Emulsion, and by tak-
ing regular doses had gained
twelve pounds in weight before
the bOttle was finished.
Eight cents a pound is
cheap for such valuable ma-
terial. Some pay more, SOrrie
less, some get nothing for
their money. You get your
money's worth when you buy,
Scott's Emulsion,
We will send .you a little
