AN EXPERIENCE IN SOUTH AFRICA.

George Reinhard is one of the many young men who have gone out from England to South Africa to seek their fortune. These travellers have interesting experiences, not the least interesting of which are the hardships they have to undergo in order to trade with the natives. Mr Reinhard has written a letter, dated at Cape Town, May 3, 1895, in which he says :— " Three years ago I went into the interior of Africa. I was then in perfect health, weighing nearly thirteen stone. While there I caught a fever which hung .about me for many months. After about four months of- this fever I began to feel pains in my lungs. I did not pay very much attention to these pains at first, until they grew mor,e troublesome and I began to cough. My coughing became intense ; it wrenched and strained my lungs, and soon I was raising quantities of blood. The pains in my lungs continued to grow worse, and I became so emaciated that my friends thought I could not possibly live.

" In February last, when J was in Smithfield, in the Orange Free State, a friend advised mo try to Scott's Emulsion. I began to take the Emulsion as directed, and felt relief at once. My cough became easier from the outset ; I did not wrench and strain as I had been doing, and it did not hurt my lungs so much, and I found also that the pain in my lungs was relieved. I could not believe that any remedy would have such quick and satisfactory results. I kept raising less and less quantities of blood, until I did not raise any at all, and at the same time I began to feel stronger and better in every way. I rested more quietly at night, and steadily gained in weight. It seems most extraordinary, but nevertheless it is a fact, that during February, March and April, the time that I took Scott's Emulsion, I gained three stone in weight and completely recovered my health. I am now as well as I ever was, thanks to Scott's Emulsion, and I cannot say too much in its favour."

Mr Reinhard's experience with Scott's Emulsion is just as important to sufferers in Australia as in South Africa. You will profit by this South African experience if it induces you to try this remedy. Scott's Emulsion is a palatable and easy form of Cod-liver Oil combined with the hypophosphites of lime and soda. These important nutrients are just what the consumptive needs to relieve coughing, allay the irritation of the lungs, and gives flesh, strength and vitality.
