Emulsion, and this is only one in
stance OF the development Of the legiti-
mate advertising of an article of merit.
Physicians and the public generally have
found by years of experience with SCOTS
Emulsion that ii has great merit, being
much more effective than plain oil in the
cure Of wasting diseases such as consump-
ton, scrofula, anmmia, lung and throat
troubles, loss of flesh and wasting away OF
children, and this accounts largely for It's
sale all over the world in the countries
wherein It is advertised. There ore many
other similar cases, and no one is
better fitted to testify to the truth of this
article than publishers themselves, who
have reaped their share of the harvest.

Two Noble-Hearted Girls Who Faced the

They were sisters, these two at the moment
in awful peril, and they were alone in the house
in their extremity.
"Here," said the elder one, handing her

Il bethink mo 1 can,' replied the younger

A CHOLERA REMEDY,
Simple and Warming and Said to Be Certain
in Action.


in Action.
From the New York Telegram.
Mr.. Lane. an eastern traveller and orientalst,
recommends the following treatment for
cholera:
He says while residing in Cairo in 1s43, while
cholera was raging there he was informed that
there was an Englishman in small neighbour
ing village that effected a speedy cure in all
cases which he had an opportunity of treating.
The number of cases was sixty-two, and many
of them were very malignant
81 subsequently learned that his mode Of
treatment was practiced with equal success in
Spain, Constantnople and India and was never
followed by typhus or typhoid fever, which
proved fatal in many cases. When the cholera
itself had been subduei by other means, upon
applying to him received the following direc-
lions. which practiced in few cases which
occurred in my house and elsewhere, with in
variable success.
If the patients have not vomited the poi
sonous matter which is characteristic of the
disease, and which resem bles rice water give
a tablespoonful powdered mustard i'll tumbler
of cold water rs an emetic. After vomiting
whether produced by the disease or the above
means, within a few minutes give a wlneglassfu
of brandy, with ten grains of capsicum, pow
dered Cayenne pepper). stirred mp i'll it. This
generally produces almost immediate relief, and
within an hour rest. perspiration and sleep. In
few cases il was found necessary to give half
a dose Of the brandy and capsicum after half an
hour or more. A second half dose never
required. but should it be required it may be
given. No other fluid should be drank before
recovering. To accelerate convalescence it has
been suggested that fifteen drops of mixture of
the spirits of ammonia and sulphuric ether in
equal parts NAV be advantageously given three
or four times during the following day. The
above quantity of capsicum and brandy is for
adult patient suffering a severe attack: in
other cases two-thirds or half that quantity may
suffice, as have proven by experience"
