As you can see from this advertisement, now that I’ve tired of taking care of your corpse during my stint as a funeral director, I’ve decided to take care of your health instead.

As this ad from The Cosmopolitan urges, “In the list of good resolutions for ’93″—and that’s 1893—”why not include health betterment?”

I know that you’ve all resolved to have healthier new years, so start using Scott’s Emulsion today!

After all, “its effect in Consumption, Scrofula, and other diseases causing rapid loss of healthy tissue has given Scott’s Emulsion of Cod-Liver Oil with Hypophosphites of Lime and Soda, marked pre-eminence over all other forms of nourishment employed in medical practice.”

Why, it’s “almost as palatable as milk.”
