Did you ever try to dodge the
rain-drops? Did not succeed
very well, did you? It's just
as useless to try to escape from
the germs of consumption. You
can't do it. They are about us
on every hand and we are con
stantly taking them Into our
lungs.
Then why don't we all have
this disease? Simply because
these germs cannot gain a foot
hold In a strong throat and
lungs. It's when these are
weak that the germs master.
; The body must be well supplied
with fat. The danger comes
when the blood is poor and the
body Is thin. If your cough does
not yield, and your throat and
lungs feel raw and sore, you
should not delay another day.

comes well fortified and the

It's this nourishing, sustain

of SCOTT'S EMULSION that
has made it of such value in
all wasting and exhausting
diseases.
