THE OLD AND THE NEW.

For half a century the name of |cod-liver oil has been associated in one way or another with all affections of throat and lungs, together with any condition of diseased or depleted blood. For a quarter of a century above all other forma of cod-liver oil has been Scott’s Emulsion, which combines the oil in a palatable form with the hypophosphitos of llrao and soda a standard remedy for appetite, bones* nerves and brain. Inasmuch as Scott’s Emulsion is in accord with medical science, it is only natural physicians should prescribe it, as happened in the following case^ ♦* For many months my Wife suffered from pleurisy, combined with a lung affection and general weakness. After some time, my medical adviser recommended the use of Scott’s Emulsion, and from time of commencing use of same, my wife’s health rapidly improved, until I how have no further cause for anxiety as to her health and strength. This result I attribute solely to a timely persistent use of Scott’s Emulsion, which I never fail to recommend among those of my acquaintance whose health may seem to need recouping.—" Yours very truly (signed) J. M. Stus, Wellesley streetj Auckland, N.Z., May 9th, 1895.” Taking plain cod liver oil is no longer necessary or advisable. Ih ifca ordinary form it nearly always decomposes and has a rancid taste. This not only destroys its medicinal properties, but makes it hard for patients to take. Scott’s Emulsion overcomes all objections by preserving the oil, keeping it sWoet, makihg it palatable, and combining it With another useful remedy the hypophosphitea. Scott’s Emulsion ia easy on the digestive organs, being in a partially digested state. It is peculiar to itself. You will find it effective in advanced stages of consumption or scrofulfe, or in the wasting diseases of children. For all the results of low vitality it is without a peer.
