Mrs. Karunatilake,

Meanwhile the process of evolution and evolution takes its way: and its most significant future is a celecticisan highly coloured by British and American influences and ambitions.

The Perfect Emulsion.

Angier's Emulsion is entirely different and superior to all other emulsions because it combines the reinarkable healing properties of our special petroleum with the tonic properties of the hypophosphites. Angier's Emulsion is at once an unequalled lung remedy, a great aid to digestion and a pleasant tonic that benents the entire system. It is unquestionably the most palatable emulsion and it agrees perfectly with delicate stomachs. If you have tried other emulsions and found them distasteful, buy a bottle of Angier's and note the difference; it is almost like cream and you are sure to like it. Angier's Emulsion is invaluable for coughs und lang troubles.

Angier's Emulsion

(PETROLEUM WITH HYPOPHOBṚHITES.)

"FAR SUPERIOR TO

ALL OTHER EMULSIONS.”

Dear Sirs, have used Angier's Emulsion in a number of chest cases, notably in cough following Influenza. and in the later stages of Bronchitis in children, and have never known it to fail. In one case of advanced Phthisis it gave a good deal of ruliet. After trial in a multitude of chest cases I consider it far superior to all other emulsions. -L.R.C.P., L.R.C.S.

"THERE IS NO BETTER TONIC."

Dear Sirs. In all cases of

chronic cough, and in all wasting diseases of adults and children, pulmonary and gastro-intestizol, there is no better tonic than Angier's Emulsion. I prescribe it to more than half my patients. You may make use of this testimonial minus my name, L.R.C.P., L.K.C.S., &c.
