The result of giving one bottle of i " Lane's Emulsion " was pimply marvellous, l I had been told by a number of frieuds of j tin wonderful results; even in long-standing ca«es of consumption, and am very plad I ' gave it a trial. It is a positive and safe t guard against colds, and my house has 3 never been so free for many yea's. I have J also given it to my little girl, who was j rather out-growing her strength. Now she I is not only strocg, but has added fle«h to , her body. I feel so satisfied with it that I strongly recommend it to everybody having ' weak lungs. Yours faithfully, L.8.H., Oamaru.
