"Was Delicate from Birth.

Plain cod-liver oil was tried, but the child could not take it. People uniA'ersally haA-e faith in the eurati\ r e and nourishing properties of cod-liver oil, but it is sometimes hard to convince them that they can take it and digest it. A little girl in the North of London had been very delicate from birth, and her parents wanted hei to have the advantage of codliver oil. In telling- about the case in. a letter, they say : — " 92 Drayton Park, Highbury. "London, N., England, May 24th, IS OO. "Gentlemen, — Our little girl was born with a very delicate constitution, and her health hap giA-en us a great deal of trouble. We thought if Aye could get her to take cod-livei oil it would do her good, and we decided to try it, but avc found that the child simply could not ta! c it ; it seemed too heavy for her to digest. Finally, it orcmred to us to try Scott's Emulsion, and the results have been really leinarkabie.

Our child took Scott's Emulsion readily, and digested it without any difficulty, th© result being one healthy and steady progress in her health. No parents could desire more, and no money could bring better reeulte. It is with great pleasure that we send you this testimonial.— Yours faithfully, " (Signed) Geoege & F. A. Rilhakds." One Avoulcl scarcely imagine that Scott's Emulsion is really cod-liver oil. The taste of the oil is disguised, and the preparation has a very agreeabje flavour, children especially being fond of it. But it is in the form of the oil that the greatest advantage of Sott's Emulsion really retts. The stomach has little or nothing to do Avith it, and absorption takes place without unnecessary digestive effort. Scott's Emulsion has quite taken the place of other forms of cod-lh % oil in the treatment of chronio ailments and disease. Practical demonstrations of the readiness with which it is taken and the benefits it affords have convinced the medical profession of its superiority. If you want the most economical and most effectual form of cod-liver oil, you should certainly take the, genuine Scott's Emulsion.
