1895 Educational Testimonial Booklet Scott's Emulsion
This circa 1895, 10 page paper booklet is a rather eccentric testimonial to the "wondrous" properties of Scott's Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil with Hypophosphates, prepared by Scott & Bowne, Manufacturing Chemists, New York.

This advertising booklet proposes to educate the adults about the product while amusing children with its informative tidbits about a variety of American presidents. The front and back covers feature a Black Memorabilia theme which has absolutely no connection to the product. Bizarre!!

This piece of advertising ephemera discusses a multitude of diseases and indirectly implies that Scott's Emulsion can cure all of them! Quite interesting to read the testimonials from the early 1890's!

While the paper is delicate, the booklet remains in fine overall condition considering its 100+ years of age. The cover has separated from the interior pages and has edge roughness; otherwise intact.
