General Debility and Loss of Flesh Scott's Emulsion has been the standard remedy for nearly a quarter of a century. Physicians readily admit that they obtain re sults from it that they cannot get from any other flesh-forming food. There are many other prepara tions on the market that pretend to do what SCOTT'S EMULSION. does, but they fail to perform it. The pure Norwegian Cod-liver Oil made into a delightful cream, skill fully blended with the Hypophos phites of Lime and Soda, which are such valuable tonics, makes this preparation an ideal one and checks the wasting tendency, and the fatient almost immediate y commences to put on flesh and gain a strength which surprises them.

Butler, of pack-train No. 3, writing from Sandisgo, De Cuba, cn July 23d, eays: "We all had diarrhoea in more or lees violent form, and when we landed we had no time to see a doctor, for it was a case of rush and rush night and day to keep the troops sup plied with ammunition and rations, but thanks to Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, we were able to keep at work and keep our health ; in fact, I sincerely believe that at one critical time this medicine was the in direct eaviour of our arrny, for if the packers had been unable to work there would have been no way of getting sup plies to the front. There were no roads that a wagon train could use. My com rad and myself had the good fortune to lay in a supply of this medicine for out pack-train before we left Tampa, and I know in four cases it absolutely saved life."
