WHAT WOULD THE CODFISH SAY ?

If the codfish in the seas realised how great a blessing they are to mankind, they would not mind so much being caught, and dried and salted. At least, tins is one way of looking at it. The oil alone that is made from their livers has. probably saved more lives than anybody will ever realise. Most of its wonderful benefits are " born to blush unseen." Fortunately, soine of them are not, and may thereby accomplish much good. Here is a case we are enabled to publish : —

"In May, 1890, I had a very severe attack of influenza, which left both lungs weak. Each winter since I have had bad attacks of bronchitis or inflammation, my lungs getting worse and worse, until I found myself, in January, 1895, quite unfit for my occupation, and had to give up my situation. The doctor pronounced it corsumption, and ordered me to Clifton, where I was during February and March, without any benefit. About this time a friend sent me a bottle of Scott's Emulsion, 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 I 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 me strength, and I rapidly gained weight — over nine poiinds in two months. I was ordered here for the winter, and I am glad to say that so far I have been entirely tree from all coldSj and am feeling stronger . than I have for more than- a year past. I hope, with the, regular use of Scott's Emulsion, to be able to resume work in a month or two. For seven months I have taken no othei medicine, although I am under the care of a doctor here. I told him what I was talcing, and he 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 cannot 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. — Yours very sincerely (Signed) EDMUND D. JORY, 3, Belvedere, Lincoln Avenue, Borneinouth, England, Jan. 28, 1896."

It is interesting 1 to know that Scott's Emulsion is a perfectly palutalh 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 pother preparation is there such perfect manipulation of the oil. This|is why Scott's Emulsion is effective in cases where other forms of cod-liver oil have proved useless.
