Dear Sirs,-After suffering from bronchial catarrh and stomach catarrh without relief for several years, I was advised by an eminent authority to try Angier's Emulsion.

I can confidently recommend all who are troubled with similar ailments. or indeed with any general debility, to take your excellent preparation of pétroleum.
