Advertisement for Scott's Emulsion, 1898. 'Have you Tried it? Take a little baby, for example. Give it a dose of plain cod-liver oil. Ugh! The eyes close. The face screws itself up, mouth opens, baby gets rid of all it can, and then the household is upset for half an hour. Again, give it the stuff the chemist says is "just as good." Ugh! Same scene. Again, give it Scott's Emulsion. Ah! Eyes open in wonder. Tongue tries to find some, more on the little lips. Mouth opens, baby laughs, scene closes with a contented kick and a wriggle, and baby goes to sleep. In a few days baby will tell you when the time comes to take it - and often when it is not time. And all the while baby is getting fatter and rosier, and kicks and wriggles with more strength. Do you mean to say that baby does not know? SCOTT & BOWNE (LTD.), LONDON, E.C. ALL CHEMISTS. 2/6 AND 4/6.' From "Illustrated London News", 1898.
