PULMEI4--G Great Kedica@ Discovery.
1t was stated souc time ago, that an I'M
portant medical discovery had made been Of
an efectual preventa' we and remedy for The
consumption; we are now able to add some
thing on the subject.
This discovery consists in the production
OF new compound substance to which the
name of Pnlmcl has been given, meaning
honey for the lungs, and the effects of which,
OF the human system are to prevent the for
nation of tubercles in the lungs, or to heal
them when formed, as we'll as to remove
gradually all the symptoms Of decline.
The Pulmel is susceptible of being com
bined in a variety of forms, such as choco-
late, syrup, electuary, powders and pills, &c.
lhe most efficient will be the chocolate
which is sweet, grateful all pleasant to the
taste; but as soon as the lungs are affected,
another additional form must then be used,
by inhaing or breathing perfume OF Pull
mel NO deleterious substance enters into it;
none Of the poisonous plants nor Prusslc
aciu, hitherto used by many; but mere active
vegetable substance; and unlike quick med,
iclnes, IT cures the consumption only, anc
nothing else.
The dlscoverer of this new medical SUD
stance, is gentleman OF great medical ant
} botanical knowledge who has been led to j
by many r esearches and experiments upol

Meantime as he does not wish TO be rank.
ed with the uniform dealers in secret rene
dies, he will soon publish Medical DIS
sertation on the different kinds OF Consump-
ton, and their prophylactic cure by the pui-
mel. which shall plainly eyince his knowi-
edge of the subject. while, through modesty,
his name will not even be mentioned, trust
ing altogether to the tried efficiency OF the
Pnlmcl to deserve the attention of patients
and physicians.
In Philadelphia alone, 70oindividuals died
of pulmonary complaints in 1926, out OF
also total deaths, or one in six In 1927
about 800 will die Of the same end as many
in 1928. Out of these large proportion
could be saved every year by the Pulmei;
this is sufficient to deserve trial.

TURNIP.S


Iurnlps love a light sandy or gravelly soil

Ground that has been newly cleared. Yields

such spot there is the least danger from in

Next to new land, swarded ground is to be
chosen for crop of turnips; and the way to
prepare it is to plough it pretty deep in the
spring, and fold it by turning in the stock
for good number Of nights. Tor there is
scarcely any of our fields sufficiently rich to
produce turnips without manuring: and fold

of enrching the ground for this purpose

heaven the details of the transaction were
matter of question. But alas for human
nature, they are established by the decision
Of court Of justice, and of the truth OF the
story, there can be no possible doubt We
heard the particulars some time since, from
a highly respectable and meritorlous oth-
Ger of the United States Navy, who was at
the time on the coast of Cuba, and we have
now before us letter confirming the story
of our friend, from another gentleman OF the
Navy, who was in Havana at the time the aft
far transpired. From our recolections Of
the statement OF our friend, as well as from
the letter, we shall present to our readers a
briet account Of the heart sckenin5 story.
In the summer Of 1921, several Of the cit
liens Of Havana, missed many Of their little
negro children, and the impression was gen
eral that they had been kidnapped, and
sent to the interior. The attention of the
police was called to the subject. bnt the VI
gill nce of the constituted authorities was not
able TO effect discovery.

tress to a cook shop, at which were sold

where it has been the custom Of the owners
to receive them with the greatest hospital
ity, until the abuse or too frequent use OF
,his hospitality has rendered these visits less
agreeable than formerly; and consequently
a delicate mind may in some cases prevent
the beneficial effects, which might other
wise result from a voyage to Cuba.
The following table will exhibit the pro-
portion of deaths at Havana, compared
with those of the cities Of New York and
Philadelphia:

The subject /, one of intense interest to the
