Indigestion and Catarrh.
40 Kentish Road, Handsworth, Birmingham. Dear Sirs,It is now about five years since Angier's Emulsion was recommended to me by a doctor, and I have found it invaluable for indigestion and stomach catarrh, as well as for toning up the system. I was very much run down when I first took it, but improved immediately, and gained in weight 15 lb. in twelve weeks. I have recommended the Emulsion to several of my friends for various complaints, with good results. It proved especially good for a friend who suffers from inflammation of the bowels, who was completely cured, and has been at work
