Young Plants
Everv farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants arc weak and
others strong.
And that's the way with
children. They arc like young
plants. Same food, same home,
same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak.
Scott's Emulsion offers an
easy way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because of lack
of fo(xl, but because the food
docs not feed.
Scott's Emulsion really feeds
and gives the child growing
strength.
Whatever the cause of weak
ness and failure to grow
Scott's Emulsion seems to find
it and set the matter right.
