TVHERE is perhaps no medical observation
Il 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
incurable 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
more care and attention to guard against this
dangerous enemy 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 rs about FIVE to one.

ance to the skill fthe most learned physicians,
il 1--A:ccat;nn to the proprietor that he IS
enabled to offer to those afflicted with ii u
f;oodly prospect of relief in that highly valu-
able remedy the vegetable Indian Specifc-
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 a
true consumption is disease never known a.
mOngst them.
For the information of those afflicted with
complaints of the breast and lungs, the pro-
prietor inserts (from among the numerous
testimonials in his possession) the following

make trial of it, and found almost immediate
relief, and my rest restored. continued its

The celebrated DR.. Cullen has taught us
that sour first attention should be employed
in watching the approach of the disease and
its proceeding to an incurable
state; and in persons Of consumptive habit,
those born of consumptive parents,
the slightest symptoms of an approaching con-
sumption at the consumptive period Of life,
ought carefully to be attended to-"
