AN EXPERIENCE IN SOUTH AFRICA.

George Reinhard is one of the many young men who have gone out from Knglund to South Africa to seek their fortune. These travellers have interesting experiences, not the least interesting of which are the hardships which they have to undergo in order to trade with the natives. Mr Reinhard has written a letter, dated Cape Town, May 3rd, 1895, in which he says :—

" Three years ago I went into the interior of Africa. I was then in perfocfc health, weighing nearly thirteen atone. While there I caught a fever which hung about mc for many months. After about four inontha of this fever I began to feel pains in my lungs. I did not pay very much attention to these pains at first, until they grew more troublesome and I began to cough. M.y coughing became intense ; it wrenched ana strained my lungs, and soon I was raising quantities of blood. The pains in ray lungs continued to grow worse, and I became so emaciated that my friends thought I could not possibly live. "in February last, when I was in Smithfield, in the Orange Free State, a friend advised mc to try Scott's Emulsion. I began to take the hSmuleion as directed, and felt relief at once. My cough became easier from the outset, I did not wrenoh and strain as I had been doing, and it did not hurt my lunge so much, and I found also that the pain in my lungs was relieved. I could not believe that any remedy would have such quick and satisfactory results. I kepis raising lees and less quantities of blood, until 1 did not raise any at all, and at the same time I began to feel stronger and better in every way. I rested more quietly at night, and steadily gained tn weight. It seems most extraordinary, but nevertheless it is a fact, that during February' March, and April, the time I look Scott's Emulsion, I gained throe stone in weight and completely recovered my health. lam now as well aa I ever was, thanks to Scott's Emulsion, and I cannot say too much in its favour." Mr Reinhard's experience with Scott's Emulsion is just as important to siiffererain Australia as in South Africa. You will profit by this South African experience if it induces you to try this remedy. Scottfe Emulsion is a palatable and easy form of Cod-liver Oil combined with the hypophoephites of lime and soda. These important nutrients are just what the consumptive needs to relieve coughing, allay the irritation of the lungs, and give flesh, strength, and vitality.
