"SERIOUS HIP DISEASE."

"IMAGINE MY FEELINGS WHEN I WA9 TOLD THAT A THIRD OPERATION WAS NECESSARY." We usually refrain from publishing the extreme and extraordinary cases where ourei have been effected by Scott's Emulsion, but there is a case at Weston-super-Mare, in England, presenting phases quite worthy of attention. There have been many similar cases which have come to our notice, as well na~ more extraordinary ones, but this is so really typical, and it is so aptly told, that we think if it is known it will possibly dc a great deal of good to others. " 5, Glentworth Terrace, " Weston-super-Mare, England, "March 5, 1899. " Dear Sirs,—When I reveal the benefits which I derived from Scott's Emulsion, I think that everybody who reads this letter will agree that I am only doing my duty in helping you to make known its merits. I was suffering from a serious hip disease, and had to undergo two serious operations at the Weston hospital. I suffered for a month in that hospital, and you can imagine my feelings when I was told that a third operation would be necessary. In fact, I doubt if any of the doctors believed that I would really get well. My disease kept breaking out at the hip, and 1 was in a state of extreme emaciation. I cannot tell exactly why my mother began giving me Scott's Emulsion; possibly it was because it had been a great relief when I had inflammation of the lungs. At any . rate, before deciding the question of the third operation, from which I shrunk as I would almost from death, wo began a treatment of Scott's Emulsion to see what effect it would have. In a short time I commenced to feel stronger, my cough got much better, and the discharge greatly diminished in its daily flow. I went daily to the hospital to be dressed, but I finally left that off, and began to dress my wounds myself. Ido not wish to reflect in the least upon the doctors who so kindly attended me, but, nevertheless, I really feel that it was owing to Scott's Emulsion that I was not only spared a third operation, but also restored to health. For two and a-half years the wounds have been, perfectly healed, so that we feel sure the cure is permanent. lam now a teacher at the Weston-super-Maro Central Board School, and had I been in a condition ol ill-health I could not have passed the Government certificate. I feel thoroughly convinced it is to Scott's Emulsion that I owe my life, and I can now join heartily in a good rough game of football without" feeling any bad effects. The fact that Scott's Emulsion has an action on disease seems to havo been perfectly and conclusively proved in my case, and I have much pleasure in testifying to this fact, in order that possibly others may be cured in the same way.—Yours very truly, (Signed) "E. W. B. Dykes." There is no doubt whatever about the effectiveness of Scott's Emulsion in diseases of this nature. This well-known remedy contains cod liver oil, hypophosphites, and glycerine, and offers these standard remedial agents in the easiest form to the patient.
