Why Do We Eat? 



FOR JUST TWO REASONS: 



FIRST — To furnish material from which the rapidly 

 growing tissues of the young may be built, and to supply 

 the losses which come to all tissues from use. 



SECOND — To supply the body with nervous, muscular 

 and digestive force. 



While some foods are best suited for the first and 

 are of little value for the second, and while precisely the 

 opposite is true, yet all physiologists agree that FAT is 

 equally suitable for both. 



It has been proven that fat is absolutely essential to 

 the building up of tissue and the production of force. 



THE QUESTION IS— 



What kind of Fat? 



THE ANSWER IS— 



Cod liver oil, as found in Scott's Emulsion. 



In this preparation the oil is Emulsified, digested, 

 ready to enter at once into the circulation without any 

 expenditure of force. The body keeps what it has and 

 rapidly acquires more. 



The hypophosphites are also present. They give tone 

 and vigor to the whole nervous system. 



In all cases of Loss of Flesh, Weakness of the Nerves, 

 Huscular Debility and Poor Digestion, Scott's Emulsion is 

 the one logical remedy.
