WHAT WOULD THE CODFISH SAY?

If the codfish in the seas realised how groat a blessing they are toinankind, they would not mind so much being caught, and dried and salted. At least, this is one way of looking at it. The oil alone that is made from their livers has probably # saved more Uvea than anybody will ever realise. Most of its wonderful benefits are “ born to blush unseen.“ Fortunately, some of them are not, and may thereby accomplish rrtuoh good. Hero is a cdse we are enabled to publish i—- • “In May, 1890,1 had a very severe attack of influenza, which loft both lungs weak. Each winter since I have had bad attacks of bronchitis or inflammation, my lungs getting worse and worse, until X found myself in January,,lß9s, quite unfit for my occupation, and had to give up my situation. The doctor pronounced it consumption, and ordered me to Clifton, where I was during February and March, without any benefit. About this time a friend sent mo a bottle of Scott’s Emuleion, asking me to try it. I did so, and thought I felt slightly better. The phlegm became less and the night sweats less frequent. In April! went into Devonshire, my friends there thinking I had come to die, as I was so weak. Good nursing, and the regular use of. Scott’s Emulsion, soon gave mo strength, and I rapidly gained weight over nine pounds in two months. I was ordered here for the winter, and I am glad to say that so far I have been entirely free from all colds, and am feeling stronger than I have for more than a year past. I hope, with the regular use of Scott’s Emulsion, to bo able to resume work in a month or two. For seven months I have taken no other medicine, although I am under tbe care of a doctor here. I told him what I was taking, and ho said; ‘ Continue taking it, as it agrees with you. It is a capital preparation, and to you is both medicine and food.’ There are many cases like mine. They can-' not take the raw cod-liver oil, but if they tried Scott’s Emulsion, would find they could easily digest it, and if they began taking it in time, would gain strength, instead of gradually sinking away.—lours very sincerely (signed) EDMUND D. JORY,3, Belvedere, Lincoln Avenue, Bournemouth, England, January 28th, 1896.” It is interesting to know that Scott’s Emulsion is a perfectly palatable preparation. It presents cod-liver oil in an easy form for digestion and assimilation, and combines with it the hypophosphites of lime and soda in such a peculiar way that the potency of each is increased. In no other preparation can be found this ideal combination, and in no other preparation* is there such perfect manipulation of This is why Scott’s Emulsion is effective in .cases where other forms 4 of cod-liver oil have proved useless.
