" At Eight Months she weighed only Eleven Pounds; and after the second bottle of Scott's Emulsion she weighed Seventeen Pounds." ' "Why children shovild gain a pound a day on an ounce a day of Scott's Emulsion has never been explained. Nor would an explanation of it make much difference any way It is true, however, that' this has been accomplished, and certain it is that Scott's Emulsion meets the requirements of the growing body better than any remedy which has yet been offered to the public. - ... Here is a letter that may interest you: — " 64-Cromwell road, " Wimbledon, London, S.W., "February 5. 1899. " Gentlemen,—l have much pleasure in testifying to the wonderful benefit derived by our little daughter Freida by the use ot Scott's Emulsion. She was an apparently healthy child when born, but having to feed her by hand we had great trouble in obtaining a food or milk to Buit her. A?i, four months old she contracted whooping cough with bronchial trouble, which rapidly developed to congestion of the brain. The doctor we called in said it was partly due to teething, and for several days lie gave us not the slightest hope of saving her. She wasted away to a mere skeleton, and her pillow was wet through by the copious cold sweats she had when asleep. She recovered from the congestion, etc., then diarrhoea and sickness set in, and so on for another four months she was one week better and another week worse. At eight months she weighed only eleven pounds. We read one day of a similar case to ours, and we determined to try your Scott's Emulsion. Wo commenced with a half-teaspoonful twice a day, giving her sterilised milk. Before ehe had taken the first bottle of Scott's Emulsion we could see a marked improvement: excessive perspiration vanished, and she rapidly put on weight and strength, and after completing the second bottle of Scott's Emulsion.she weighed seventeen pounds, a gain of six pounds. We have not had any return of the wasting, sickness, etc., and she is today as bright and well as wo could wish to see lier. Without any exaggeration we can say that we owe the return to health and strength of our baby girl to Scott's Emulsion. —We remain, yours faithfully, - (Signed). " (Mb and Mhs) F. J. Clakke." It must not be inferred • that Scott's Emulsion is only a remedy for babies. You only have to know the ingredients of this preparation, to appreciate how splendidly adapted it ia to persons of all ages. Scott's Emulsion contains cod-liver oil, hypophosphites, and glycerine, perfectly blended into a palatable and easy emulsion. Scott's Emulsion has a favourable effect upon digestion, and it overcomes the wasting of flesh and strength when other remedies are of no Oi'ail'rl 52
