Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con
sumption Eat plenty of
pork was the advice to the
consumptive 50 and 100
years ago
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most
ScottsEmulsionisthemod
ern method of feeding fat to
the consumptive Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs
Scotts Emulsion is the most
refined of fats especially
prepared for easy digestion
Feeding him fat in this
way which is often the only
way is half the battle but
Scotts Emulsion does more
than that There is some
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hypophos
phites in Scotts Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has a special
action on the diseased lungs
A sample will be
sent free upon request
Be sure that this picture in
the form of a label is on the
wrapper of every bottle of
Emulsion you buy

simply a plain man of business but
I have a cure for rheumatism and I
want to tell everyone who suffers with
rheumatism about it I wish to be

however apparently beyond the reach
of cure will write to me this day and I
will send you by return mail this work

discouraged with doctoring and to those
who have been cast aside as incurable
All you have thought about rheumatism

pay you to investigate my offer anyway
and prove for yourself the claims I make
