When washing flannels, get rid of as much dust and dirt as you possi- bly can by shaking and brushing be foro plunging into water.

If this action be- comes irregular the whole body suffers. Poor health follows poor blood ; Scott's Emulsion makes the blood pure. One reason why SCOTT'S EMULSION is such a great aid is because it passes so quickly into the blood. It is partly di- gested before it enters the stomach ; a double advan- tage in this. Less work for the stomach ; quicker and more direct benefits. To get the greatest amount of good with the least pos- sible effort is the desire of everyone in poor health.
