GREAT OAKS FROM LITTLE ACORNS GROW.

o. . A couch or a cold is rarely serious in itself. The serious phases are the condition it reveals and what it may develop into if this condition is neglected. We often read of severe illness that starts from taking cold. For instance, here is a case : — " I some time ago suffered from inflammation of the lungs, brought on by a severe cold. My condition became a most critical one, and I was confined to my bed. Various remedies were tried, but failed to give any benefit, and I began to despair of ever getting well again. I was advised to try Scott's Emulsion, and did so. I found relief after taking the first few doses, and, by continuing to take it for some time, was ultimately quite cured. Thanks to its use, I am much stronger and better in health than formerly. It cured me when all else failed, and I never fail to speak well in recommendation of it to others.— Sincerely yours, (signed) MRS G. B. PARQUHAB, The Parade. Norwood, Adelaide, S.A., July 30th, 1895." . It is almost an every-day occurrence to hear of lung affections, " brought on by a severe cold," and also of remarkable cures of Scott's Emulsion ; but the secret of the cause of both is not so often explained. Let us explain it in a few words for you. Coughs- and colds, loss of flesh, paleness — all are signs of a weakened system. The blood lacks nourishment, and the system lacks vitality. In this condition the body is susceptible to all forms of illness. The particular ailment which results from neglect of it is merely a matter of tendency. The reason Scott's Emulsion is so adapted to these weak conditions is because it allays the local irritation, and brings back the resistive force— the vital strength— to the system. Scott's Emulsion is the easiest and best way to take cod liver oil and hypophosphites. It is easy on the digestive organs, and is assimilated readily.
