Angier's Emulsion has been prescribed by the medical profession and used in the hospitals for the last twenty years and is now uni versally recognised as the standard approved remedy for cought." bronchitis, asthma, consumption and all forms of lung trouble. It is superior to other lung remedies because of its greater soothing and healing powers, in combination with exceptional tonic and strengthen- ing qualities. Angier's Emulsion is soothing alike to throat, lungs, ro stomach and intestines, and it has a most invigorating influence upon the general health. It is pleasant to take, agrees perfectly - with delicate stomachs, and improves appetite and digestion.
ANGIERS EMULSION
"The
most valuable weapon in the fight against Consumption," Pelham House, Pelham Square, Brighton. Dear Sirs,-I have beon suffering for BAveral years from tuberculosis of the lungs and It is impossible for me to speak too highly of the extraordinary effect your pre- 1paration has had upon me during this terrible condition. It has not only checked the OURE ing, decreased the cough, and lessened the Sintitation of the tubes, but has greatly increased my digestive powers, sei that I have been able to assimilate a greater amount of nourishment. I say distineily (and the medical men who have been and are afteüd- ing me hold the same opinion) that Angier's Emulsion is THE most valuable weapon in the Aght against consumption. You may Prefer whomsoever you please to me.
