PERHAPS A NEW IDEA.
A word about cod-liver oil, please. You may not have time to read an exhaustive article on the subject-, but a few fact/- may interest you. Cod-liver oil is an animal oil, and like all animal matter it decomposes unless.specially treated. The best cod-liver oil —highest in medicinal properties —cornea from the other end- of the earth—Norway. When you buy it in its plain state the chances are it has a rancid taste. This is doe to decomposition, which robs the oil of the very properties you want. Still, what can you expect of an animal product exposed more or less to air for perhaps months ? If you are scrof ulous,consumptive, anasmic, er generally weak and emaciated, with pale cheeks and no vitality, you need cod-liver oil. If your children do not thrive, they need it. Why not take it in its best form ? Scott's Emulsion preserves the oil, keeps it fresh and sweet, retaining its medicinal properties. A perfect emulsion, like Scott's Emulsion, is a partially digested oil, and thus is in an easy form for the,digestive organs. A baby or a dyspeptic can take Scott's Emulsion. And besides this rich, first-grade Norway oil, Scott's Emulsion contains the hypo* phosphites of lime and soda which aid digestion, stimulate the nerves and brain, and are indispensable to children with a tendency to curvature. Tue combination of these standard remedies makes an ideal preparation for overcoming the wasting tendencies of the system. Scott's Emulsion is sweet to the taste. You do not know you are taking oil at all. It is like cream, and, as a matter of fact, it is to plain oil what cream is to butter. Cream is an emulsion of butter, and this is why physcians recommend cream instead of butter. Scott's Emulsion is an emulsion of oil, and is preferred by physcians for many reasons, a few of which we have given.
