1t is a melancholy fact that Consumption
constitutes large portion of our bills OF NOR
tality, and forms one of the most crowded av-
enues to the tomb. The principal cause of the
mortality of this formidable disease may be
attributed to the peculiar character Of its pri-
mary symptoms. In its first stages, the pa
tient is seldom aware Of the alarming disease
that is fastening upon him; consequently no
remedial aid is sought until it is too late. Its
premonltory symptoms appear trifing, hence
they are disregarded until in their more full de-
velopement the victim is alarmed, and strug-
giles in vain to elude the fatal grasp. The first
symptoms that should be taken as warning
are the following; viz:
A short dry cough without much expectora-
ton, except frothy mucus; an uneasiness
about the chest, or sense of pain when lying
on the side; pain under the breast bone; res
piration is oppressed by the least extra bodily
exertion, and particularly in warm rooms, or
in moist weather: mental excitement and de-
lection, alternately; splitting of blood is also
warning symptom of approaching Consump-
tion Colds frequently engender this disease;
the alarming symptom, in this case, is the con-
tinuation of the cough accompanied with some
of the above symptoms, any of which may be
observed perhaps for months before the patient
will acknowledge that he is SO i'll as to require
attention. When indeed this is the most cri-
tical PERIOD and if relief is not soon found, the
cough increases and is more troublesome and
severe, particularly at night; the expectora-
ton more copious, of greenish color, some-
times tnged with blood; the laborious breath
ing and emaciation continue to increase; the
hectic flush is soon seen in the pale cheek ac-
companied by night sweats, &c.; the closing
scene is TOO WELL KNOWN.
For this formidable disease the Pulmonary
Balsam is prepared and offered to the afflicted,
in connection with my Elixir of Health and
Embrocation. The Balsam possesses the re-
quisite properties for healing and restoring the
ungs to healthful state, while the Elixir
tends to produce, invigorate and maintain a
healthy action in the whole system, purifying
the blood and preparing the system SO that ma
ture, by the aid of the Balsam and Embroca-
ton, may carry ON and effect the healing pro-
cess. 1t is well known fact that wound,
sore or ulcer cannot easily be healed or cured
without keeping the system in good order and
healthful condition; hence the failure Of all
cough medicine for the cure of the Consump-
ton cough, this cough being only symptom
of a. diseased state of the lungs, caronly be
permanently removed as they are restored to
sound state. No one medicine can be relied
upon in diseased state of the lungs; but the
above medicines, viz. II. Eastman's Pulmonary
Balsam, Elixir Of Health and Embrocation have
succeeded even in the apparent last stages Of
the Consumption.
