There doesn’t seem to be very much the matter with your child. He doesn’t ac- tually lose weight, but there is no gain. He belongs to that large class of children that don’t seem to prosper. You look at him a little more thoughtfully than you do at the rest and say “He is not doing well.” Failure | to gain in weight in a child isa danger signal. Scott’s Emulsion should be taken at once. It puts on fat where health demands it, strengthening the digestion.
