CHRONIC COUCHING.

Did it ever occur to yon tJhalfc chronic; coughing is nearly always due to :a Weakened, exhausted state which ith. .system, drifts into when it is umtble to derive suffi-: cient vitality from its supply of food ?. This theory of nourishment is ;on interest-; ing one to study. In the treatment _f disease, nowadays the nourishment given . to' the patient is of more importance than: drugs. Doctors are .frank to admit thati drugs are secondaiy to the real requirements' of Nature. . •

Of all the foods employed by* thej medical profession . to overcome wasting, and give vital flesh' and strength tO| the body, none is so generally, (used vas. cod-liver oil. In Scotfs Emnlsion weliave' this oil in a palatable form and ready for quick absorption into the blood. We irilso have in Scott's Emulsion, hypophosphites and glycerine, both of which facilitate the absorption of the oil and help the syste.ii .n many ways. Scott's Emulsion is t_i_ modern -.way of taking cod-liver oil.

We do- not think we can do b . tt ir than to let you-; read the letter of Mis. Hodgrnn, who tells _ier own experience with Scott's Emulsion. The letter is as follows : —

"It is to me a source of very pnmii net pleasure to ho able to bring tmdrrr -<*oui*; notice the ''benefit I have and am deriving ' from the use of Scott's Emulsion. For more than, two years past I have been a constant sußerer from a bad cough, accompanied sometimes ■with bleeding of the lungs. I hatl-used other remedies which •from time to 'time were prescribed, but •with no good results. Finally I was advised to use Scott's Emulsion, and have 'found in it the benefit and Telief I was so muoh in need _f . It _ased my cough almost immediately, and 'soon stopped it altogether. I have had no recurrence of lung bleeding, and feel 'in every way better from the use of your -valu_.le preparation.. I am .till nsing it, .and am gaining, flesh rapidly. I shall ever speak in its favour to others and in gratitude am yours very truly MISS A. M. . HODGINS, ' Hosies Hotel,' EKzaibetl. Street, Melbourne, Viotoria." I?
