"HE WAS VERY PALE
AND SEEMED TO GRADUALLY WASTE AWAY. HIS FOOD HE COULD NOT SEEM TO TAKE." How natural is the letter which has been written by Mr. Squires in relation to his child What a familiar picture he draws, and how aptly does it apply to so many cases where children do not thrive! So many children there are whose, condition of ill-health you cannot exactly describe, nor can you account for in any way,- but still you know that they never seem very strong, and there is a constant anxiety for them day and night. Sometimes this delicate state of health assumes one form, and again it takes another, but that there is lack of vigour there can be no doubt whatever. We ask you to kindly read what Mr. Squires writes about his own son, and then apply it to all the delicate children: — "7, Southgate Terrace ; "Eastville, Bristol, England, "February 23, 1899. " Dear Sirs,—l think I shall be faDing in my duty if I do not give a full and true report in the case of my little boy, and the result of your valuable preparation— j Emulsion. Our little boy Percy was never very strong, and we tried all sorts of preparations for him, but they did not seem to do him much good, and then we had a doctor attending him for six or seven weeks. He was very pale, and seemed to gradually waste away. His food he could not seem to take; it did not matter what we got for him, he would just pick it over, eating but very little. I have often wondered what we could get for him. Just at that time I saw the report of a case similar to his. I read it and thought how much it was like our little boy; so I sent for a sample of Scott's Emulsion, and I am pleased to say that we could see a great change after taking the first bottle. He has now taken six bottles, and is looking quite a bonnie little chap. Everybody says how well he is look-, ing, and what a difference there is in him since taking Scott's Emulsion. lam sorry now that I did not have him weighed before taking your preparation, so that we should have known how much flesh he has gained, but he has filled up remarkably, and we know it is solely due to the use of Scott's Emulsion. lam only too glad to tell all who read this testimonial how much we think of Scott's Emulsion.—Again thanking you very much, I remain, gentlemen, yours truly, (Signed) " John W. Squires." If you do not believe in Scott's Emulsion, you surely cannot believe in any legitimate branch of medical science. The evidence in favour of Scott's Emulsion is overwhelming. Everybody who, tries it speaks well of it, and physicians give it their - unqualified praise. Scott's Emulsion is not a secret remedy. It is merely the best way to take cod liver oil, hypophosphites, and glycerine. These ingredients are blended into a perfect emulsion, which is swoet to - the taste and does not tax digestion. Scott's Emulsion is just what all delicate children need to bring them back to a condition of health.
