Lungs.
VNHERE is perhaps no medical observation
J. better established, none more generally
confirmed by the experience of the best physi.
cians of all ages and countries, and none OF
more importance to the human family, than
the fact that many of the most difficult and
inclrable consumptions originate in neglect
ed colds. In climate so variable as ours,
where the changes of the weather are fire.
quently sudden and unexpected, it requires
moro care and attention to guard against this
dangerous .enayny of life, than most, people
imagine, or are able and willing to bestow.-
The bills of mortality exhibit the melancholy
fact that the proportion of deaths by this dis
ease may be considered as about five to one.

ance to the skill ofthe most learned physicians,
it is a qualification to the proprietor that he is
enabled to offer to those afflicted with it
goodly prospect of relief, in that highly valu.
able remedy the vegetable Indian Specific
The Indians are happy in their knowledge Of
medical plants; governed wholly by expert
ence, they are certain as to their effect, and it
is said by an author of great character, that
true consumption is disease never known a.
mongst them.

complaints of the breast and lungs, the pro-
prietor inserts (from among the numerous
testimonials in his possession) the following
