HOME GUILD Does your horse "feel his oats" ? What a difference be tween the grain-fed and the grass-fed horse ! The first strong and full of ginger , the second flabby , weak and tired out before he begins. The feeding makes the difference. Children arc not alike either. One is rosy , bright-eyed , full of life and laughter , another is pale , weak and dull. The feed ing again is responsible. Sickly children need special feeding. They don't "feel their oats" . Scott's Emulsion adds just the right richness to their diet. It is like grain to the horse. The child gets new appetite and strong digestion. Scott's Emulsion is more than food. It is a strong medicine. It rouses up dull children , puts new flesh on thin ones and red blood into pale ones. It makes children grow } Scott's Emulsion makes ordinary - nary food do its , duty. j This picture represents the Trade Mark of Scott's Emulsion and is on the wrapper of every bottle.
