WHAT I HAVE SEEN I HAVE SEEN.
'• We saw her gradually fading away under that trying cough to almost a skeleton."
So writes a father about his little child. You can almost imagine what had happened in that household. Sometimes it all begins with bronchitis, again it is whooping cough, and frequently an ordinary oold starts baby fading away to almost a skeleton. In Mr Gordon's case it happened, to quote his own language, in this way :— | "About a year ago our little daughter I Violot, now three and a half years old, had a severe attack of whooping cough. IVior to that time she had been one of the brightest, healthiest babies in the world. She had no difficulty cutting her teeth, and we were always very much surprised ourselves to think that she should keep so well. When the whooping cough*, came on, we thought that her vitality would carry her through nicely, and we did not worry until we noticed that the coughing was becoming chronic, and baby was growing thin under the strain. We then became very nervous over her, for we saw her gradually fading away under that trying cough to almost a j skeleton. She lost her appetite, grew pale and weak, and in September we had almost given up hopes of raising her. She was listless, her eyes were dull; in fact, she was almost lifeless oxo-pt tor tiiac COUgil. -A. f»-i«orvA xx—_. .«3a.x-l~ i rt MMiiHiui fill itf it, and I can now s-iy that our little girl owes her life to it. Scott's Kiuviteion eased her coughing at once, loosened the phlegm in her little throat, restored hoc appetite, and soon we began to see her picking up in-flesh and strength. In less than a month she was a different child, and appeared really like her old self again. Scott's Emulsion absolutely cured her cough, made her fat, gave her a rosy colour, and make her strong and robust in every way. SKe is now all animation, and one of the healthiest children you have ever seen.—Yours faithfully, (signed) Sami,. Gordon, 22 Colebill Road, Munster Road, Fnlham, London, S. W.,.TanuarvSOth, 1996."
You will notice that Scott's Emulsion did more than stop the child's coughing. It " made her fat, gave her a rosy colour, and
made her strong and robust in ev ery -TH This would have lieen the effect if ft W grlhad merely been thin, p£ and w"' If is always so with children thrive. Scott's Emulsion noarishetl, W * and gives them strength when it tt i m seems impossible to raise them. m
