Consumption
The only kind of consump
tion to fear is "neglected
consumption."
People are learning that con
sumption is a curable disease.
It is neglected consumption
that is so often incurable.
. At the faintest suspicion of
consumption jct a bottle of
Scott's Emulsion and begin
regular doses.
The use of Scott's Emulsion
at once, has, in thousands of
cases, turned the balance in
favor of health.
Neglected consumption does
not exist where Scott's Emul
sion is.
t Prompt use of ScUt's Emul

can be checked.
