Weak Lungs, Consumption.

For those will weak lungs, or any tendency to consumption, Angier's. Emulsion is positively the very best remedy. It combines the antiseptic and soothing properties of our specially purified petroleum with the tonic properties of the hypophos-. phites, and is therefore both a healing lung remedy and a powerful quic. The most convincing proof of its value is the fact that it is prescribed by the leading lang specialists and is used in consumption hospitals. Anger's Emulsion not only soothes and strengthens the lungs and air passages, and relieves the troublesome cough, but it also promotes appetite, keeps the: digestive organs healthy, and greatly improves digestion, assimilation and nutrition, tas building up the health and strength as nothing else will. Unlike cod liver oil itis pleasant to take, and agrees perfectly with the inost delicate sensitive stomach.
