Mrs. Kelly writes :— " Chelsea Lea, Sefton Road, Walton, Liverpool, June 21st, 1895. " Dear Sir, —I was looking over To-Day and saw a testimonial about Dr. Scott's Pills. My dear uncle is in his 100th year and in possession of all his faculties, and really ails from sheer old age only, and still likes to do a little in his garden, of which he is most proud. He recommended them to me many years ago, and we find them very excellent ; he himself has used them ONLY for over 60 years, and I believe for over 50 years never had a doctor."

~~U JJ OS FRUIT SALT~~

~~It is Pleasant, Soothing, Cooling, Health-Giving, Refreshing, and Invigorating.~~

~~No Family should be without it.~~

~~IT PREVENTS DIARRHEA. AND REMOVES IT IN THE EARLY STAGES.~~

From the late Rev. J. W. Neil, Holy Trinity Church, North Shields. " DEAR SIR,—As an illustration of the beneficial effects of your " FRUIT SALT," I have no hesitation in giving the particulars of the case of one of my friends. Sluggish action of the Liver and Bilious Headache affected him, so he was obliged to live upon only a few articles of diet, and to be most sparing in their use. This did nothing in effecting a cure, although persevered in for twenty-five years, and also consulting eminent members of the faculty. By the use of your " FRUIT SALT," he now enjoys

vigorous health ; he has never had a Headache or Constipation since he commenced to use it, about six months ago, and can partake of his food to the great satisfaction of himself and friends. You may well extendits use pro bono publico. I find it makes a very refreshing and invigorating drink.—I remain, dear Sir, yours faithfully, J. W. NEIL." Testimonial from a Professional Nurse. QCABLET FEVER, Pyaemia, Erysipelas, Measles, Gangrene, and almost *r every mentionable Disease.—" I have been a nurse for upwards of ten years, and have nursed cases of Scarlet Fever, PysBmia, Erysipelas, Measles, Gangrene, Cancer, and almost every mentionable Disease. During the whole time I have not been ill for a single day, and this I attribute in a great measure to the use of ENO'S "FRUIT SALT," which has kept my blood in a pure state. I recommend it to all my patients during convalescence. Its value as a means of health cannot he over-estimated.—A Profes- sional Nurse (Qualified)." HEADACHE AND DISORDERED STOMACH.-" After suffering for nearly two and a half years from severe Headache and Disordered Stomach, and after trying almost everything, and spending much money, without finding any benefit, I was recommended by a friend to try your " FRUIT SALT," and before I had finished one bottle I found it doing me a great deal of good, and now I am restored to my usual

health ; and others I know that have tried it have not enjoyed such good health for years.—Yours most truly, Robert Humphreys, Post Office, Barrasford." IMPORTANT TO TRAVELLERS AT HOME AND ABROAD.-ENO'S " FRUIT SALT " should be in every bedroom and traveller's bag (for any emergency). It forms a delightful, invigorating, cooling, soothing, and health-giving beverage. It acts as simply, yet just as powerfully, on the animal system as sunshine does on the vegetable world, and removes by natural means, without hazardous force, all foetid or poisonous matter. It is impossible to overstate its great value in health or disease. Its effect on a disordered or feverish condition of the system is simply marvellous. THE VALUE OF ENO'S "FRUIT SALT" CANNOT BE TOLD, Its success in Europe, Asia, Africa, America, Australia, and New Zealand proves it.

CAUTIO N.—Examine each Bottle, and see that the CAPSULE is marked ENO'S " FRUIT SALT." Without it you have been imposed on by a worthless imitation. Prepared only at ENO'S " FRUIT SALT" WORKS, LONDON, S.E., by J. C. Eno's Patent. fi= —
