They never do well afterwards but stay small and sickly. It is worse to see a blight strike children. Good -health is the natural right of children. But some of them don't get their rights. While the rest grow big and strong one stays small and weak, Scott's Emulsion can stop that blight. There is no reasorl why such a child should stay small. Scott's Emulsion is a medicine with lots of strength in it—the kind of strength that makes things grow. Scott's Emulsion makes children grow, makes them eat, makes them sleep, makes them play. Give the weak' child a chance, Scott's Emulsiori will make it, catch up with the rest. This picture represents the Trade Mark of Scott's Emulsion and is on the ' wrapper of every bottle.
