Reduced to a Shadow Could Hardly Walk. Doctors Said Slow Recovery. Disappointed Doctors and Myself by Getting Well Quickly. §Mr. Wm. B. Mackie, of Dunedin, New Zealand, sends us his photograph and "Not long ago I was run over by a wagon and severely injured. For weeks I was confined to my bed, I was reduced to a mere shadow, so weak I could hardly walk. The doctors told me it would be a long time before I could regain my health. I felt I could not wait, so procured a bottle of Ayer's Sarsaparilla. You cannot imagine how quickly my health and strength began to return. The flrst day I felt an improvement. In a week I had a better appetite, and was much stronger. And only a few bottles wrought a most marvelous change in me. I like ypur medicine especially because it seems to give just the aid nature sometimes ["The World's Greatest Family Medicine." If you have been sick and are not recovering rapidly, just try a bottle of Ayer's Sarsaparilla. It is the strongest tonic you can buy, and it aids nature wonderfully. The better way is to take the Sarsaparilla before you get really ill. Take it when you first begin to feel poorly. It will cure you quickly then and save you much suffering and large expense. Yet even when you are sick, you cannot find a better medicine. There are many so-called Sarsaparillas. Be sure you get Ayer's, the oldest, strongest, and best Sarsaparilla. Don't experiment with imitations. .

H WaUiaffton, N.Z., October 27th, 1902. I B *-_sa_-dftß.— Dear Sir, 8 H I feel it my duty to let you know I ■ what your Emulsion, and fresh air, bas I H dono for me. _ H Twelve months ago I___s tSeptember 9 v I was so ill with my lungs that I bad B H to go into tho Wellington Hospital. H B I had baen under the care of five (5) n I different doctors, who said my case ■ I was one of consumption. I was told 8 1 that my only chance was to go either 9 ■ to the "Blue Mountains" or the m I hospital. After being in tbe hospital fig j Six (6) weeks I returned borne some- M j what relieved, but not cured. I had ■ * I a veiy nasty, hacking, hollow* cough, ■ I and was frequently spitting blood. B I Owing to the coughing being so bad at B I night, morphia tablets were ordered to fl H enable mo to sleep a little at night. H H Hy fleah Was gradually, but surely H R leaving my body, amd I was getting H B weaker aud weiukev, and was tired all H n tho time. Ia April of tbis year (1902} ■ D I commenced takiag H I through reading' yonr little book, 1 whioh was put under the door. The E doctor w£o was attending me said I fl I waa .dpirtg rigts, and advised maiom I oo^njne-with it. I think he said tEis fl I J*rct^p-^aae.moaii.i©uQhaß any thing. H M At t-ual&ie my stomach was So weak, H B. and my 4Jgesticm. so gpor t-jttfc l "corild fl H hardly retain the Emulirion, bijt' by H fl persistent efforts it gradually strength- fl n eued_my -digestive o<;gan§, and after a fl B whfleTTif^i^dUQ'ijtilty ift keeping it H fl down.

SJ J butiiJ-ere was a kind of i^lmg that I Eg S« was getting a little betfer strength. B This helped mo on, and gave me fresh B hope tbat I might still be well again, fl Right up to now, bovobi months later, B I bave kept on tafcwg the Emulsion, a At first one bottle each weeTc, then fl two, and as I got stronger the dose fl was increased. For the past two (2) a ■ months I have been taking three (3) 9 I bottles each week. lam now on my fl i forty-fourth (_._)> bottle. 14 has been fl money wolf spent. Lane's Emulsion, M fresh -air aud persistency have given M ' me a new lease of life. y fl fl .' Bast February my weight "was B SS stone 6 pounds. By April I had fi decreased to 7 stone. Since then Ifl bave gradually increased aoS have fl Snow gaiuod 10 pounds. Es^t Feb- B ruary and March I was quite unable H to walk but a fey paces, tbe least S n exertion would tire me very much. B Now— October — I can, and do, walk ■ quite five (6) mijjQa euch fine day. fl fl The walk I usually take is from my jf I house, round lie Patent Slip, through a Kilbuinie, on -t> Newtown, and home pf again. This walk is now no trouble g Hto me. Just previous to taking the B Emulsion, my doctor said he could do § no more for me. Now I can sing my 8" old songs as well as evov I did, showing my lungs are strong and sound. „ As further proof that my case was one of consumption, I was reported to the Health Officers who -visited the I H liouse in which I was living, and they sent me a circular issued by the Government, giving instructions as to tbe care of consumptives. " I am quite certain that my re"turn to health and strength is "solely due to LANE'S EMULSION " and fresh air." Very greatf ully and thankfully yours. (Signed) NELLY NIGHTINGALE.
