Your Doctor Knows

Tour doctor knows all about fboils and medicines.

The next time you see him, just ask him what he thinks

ictrsfHHMof Cod«Llver Oil with Hypo- phosphites. Wo are wllliiitf to trust in his answer.

Por twenty-flve years doc­tors have prescribed our Bmulslon for paleness, weak­ness, nervous exhaustion, and for all diseases that cause loss in flesh.

Its creamy color and its pleasant taste make it es­pecially useful for thin and delicate children.

No other preparation of cod- liver oil is like It. Don't lose time and risk your health by taking something unknown and untried. Keep In mind that aCOTTS BMULSION has stood the test for a quarter of a century.SCOTT^ BOW^N >; all dntxfHia.
