How to Gaiw Flish a»d Btbe>-oth.— Take after each meal a tablespoonful of " Scott's Emulsion of Cod Lives Oil with Hypophospbites." It is almost as palatable as milk, and easily digested. The rapidity with which delicate children and sickly people suffering from weakness and wasting diseases improve and thrive upon this diet is truly marvellous. As a remedy for Consumption, Throat Affections, and Bronchitis, it is unequalled by any other preparation in the world. Use it and try your weight.
