after any sickness is purely a matter of
nourishment, whether the attack was
an ordinary cold or severe illness; the
weakened forces cannot repulse disease
germs, and this is why a relapse is so
often fatal or why chronic weakness often
follows sickness.
Restoring strength to millions of people
for forty years has proven the real need
for taking Scott's Kmulsion after any
sickness; nothing equals it — nothing
compares with it. Its pure, medicinal
nourishment, free from alcohol or opiates,
promptly creates rich blood, strengthens
the nerves and lungs to avert tuberculosia.
