TIIEY REFUSE TO EAT
At periods in most childrens lives
they fail to relish their meals and refuse
to eat even the delicacies prepared to
tempt their appetites. They lack am
bition, and growth seems impeded,
which causes anxiety and worry.
To compel them to eat is a grave
mistake, because nutrition is impaired.
Healthful exercise m fresh air and sun
shine is important, but equally import
ant is a spoonful of Scott's Emulsion
three times a day to feed the tissues
and furnish food -energy to improve
their blood, aid nutrition and sharpen
their appetites.
The highly concentrated medicinal
food in Scott's Emulsion supplies the
