CONSTANT BRONCHIAL
COUGH FOR IS YEARS
Then Mrs. Crawshaw stopped
her cough so quickly it
alarmed her.

II suffered with bronchial trouble
and asthma for l6 years. In jan
uary, 1904, l had an unusually severe
spell. resulting in pneumonia, and
was confined to bed for months.
Then began to mend, but my cough
never left.
''The following October, I tried
Milks Emulsion. After q few days
my cough gave way, and ceased en-
! tirely after another bottle-so sud
den that / became alarmed. Getting
over my fear, l took bottles more.
For 9 months previous l had coughed
night and day, but my cough ceased
entirely. For l6 years l used all
kinds of medicines until / became

Emulsion were nothing short of mar
velous." Mrs. ]. B. Crawshaw, 1888

coughs, or hard colds, Milks Emul-
sion is really remarkable. The system
is built up and strengthened to throw
off the trouble.
Milks Emulsion is q pleasant, nu-
tritive food and 4 corrective medi-
cine. 1t restores healthy, natural
bowel action, doing away with all
need Of pills and physics. It pro-
notes appetite and quickly puts the
digestive organs in shape to assimi-
late food. As builder of flesh and
strength, Milks Emulsion is strongly
recommended to those whom sickness
has weakened, and is a powerful aid
in resisting and repairing the effects
of wasting diseases. Chronic stom-
ach trouble and constipation are
promptly relieved-usually in one day.
This is the only solid emulsion
made, and SO palatable that it is
eaten with q spoon like ice cream.
No matter how severe your case,
you are urged to try Milks Emulsion
under this guarantee-Take six bot
ties home with you, use it according
to directions and if not satisfied with
the results, your money will be
promptly refunded. Price 60c and
