ASTHMA IS CURABLE.  Many who called this last week at Targets anti Wiseman's already testify this. If there was doubt in the mind of any sufferer from Asthma in this town as to the truth of the claims made for Dr. Schiffinann's Asthma Cure, that doubt no longer rxmains, providing he was among the many who called at Targets and Wiseman's last week, and obtained a sample packet free. Although many who availed themselves of this physician's offer have not as yet had occasion to test the free thuiple obtained, yet a great number who have already tried the same most unhesitatingly declare in positive terms that relief was immediate; that the wretched spasms were checked; that free expectoration was iiiduced •' that a reclining position was readily &mined and gratefully maintained ; that the sleep which followed was restful and unbroken, and that the rimming brought a clear beau and a feeling of delightful thankfulness which no words are too strung to describe. It it not pretended that a care follows theme of the sample. Asthma and its kindred ailments are among the most stubborn known to science. But it it asserted Positively, and testified to by thousands, that a consistent use of Dr. Schiffinann's Asthma Cure will not only produce instant relief, but will effectually banish the trouble. The remedy is now in the hands of most chemists in the United Kingdom, and is sold in packets, at 2s 61 and 4s 6d, thus bringing it within the reach of all. No moro free samples can be obtained, as the docter now announces to the public that he will refund the money to any person who, baying purchased a packet of his chemist, finds on giving it a fair trial that is does not do exactly as claimed for it.

AILMENTS OF WOMEN.  The weakness and ailments so many women suffer are known only to their own sea. Men have no conception of them. We often comment superficially on the thin neclid or emaciated forms of women, looking at them only from the standpoint of beauty, when, if we knew what many of them have suffered, we would withhold much that escapes our bps. However, in thousands of eases it is not only possible, but quite easy, for women to pain strength and huh. All they need is to he shown the way, which ia revealed in the following letter :  "I feel I must write and tell you how much good the use of Scott's Emulsion has dune my wife. She had & very severe confinement, followed by a gathered breast. An operation was performed, which left her in a very weak state ; her appetite was entirely gone, and 1 was beginning to get exceedingly anxious at. seeing her wasting  gradually- ;sway. A friend of nine advised me tit try Scott's Einulsion, which I did, but with many doubts as to its efficacy. I can assure you, however, ray wife began to mend soon after beginning to take it. She is continuing its use, and every day seems to improve her. I think it is most wonderful to see with what rapidity she gains weight and flesh. I cannot too highly and conscientiously recommend its use to all who, like my wife, have suffered, and who long to regain their lost strength. I shall only be too glad to hear if this letter should be the means of cam/ling aim) body to give it atrial, as they will find I have in no way exaggerated the sterling qualities of Scott's Emill- yours (sum, d), F. lIOR'FON, 48, Flaxman Road. Coldhaibour 1.,,ne, Brixton, January 9,h, 1596." .  . , It is very easy to satisfy yourself of the lc any uses of Scott's Emulsion. Tiie medical world, including the most learned physicians, has endorsed the formula for making it nearly a quarter of a century, and you can ask your own doctor about it if you should be in doubt. Scott's Emulsion contains the best Norway cod-liver oil so manipulated that it is easy on the digestive organs and perfectly palatable and combines this inipoitant food with the Hypophosphites of Limo and Soda, thus making an ideal nourishment for feeding the blood and restoring the vital forces. Among the first beni• fiend effects ot taking Scott's Emulsion are increased appetite and a feeling of strength. Scott's Emulsion nourishes the system when no other similar preparation does any good, this being due bias manipolatioli and high standard of escellence It is useful in all phases of emaciation, loss of flesh and weakness.
