Cure for Consumption,
Marsl is, 1872.

Recommended BY Rober, Blackwood, living
10 Orange County, n. c., ID miles south
of Marlborough, aud 81 west Of Chapel
Hill, aged sixty years.
I'm the first place, take quart of Rum Of The
Il best quality and quart Of new clean Tar,
putting the mixture in a stone jug that viii con-
tain double the quantity, that II may have room 10
boil without bursting; then cork the jug complete
w tight SO that the air cannot pass IN or out; then
place this vessel in pot full Of water and boil it
brisl,ly for one hour and 1t will become complete
~ mkt; you may swing the jog in the pot so as
10 keep it upright. Then let the patient take a
table spoonful in the morning, and at nigh before
euing TO bed if the patient be very low, take but
i tea spoonful three times a day; and as they
gain strength take little more, till they can bear
a table spoonful twice a day, say night and morn.
ing Ii this does not effect a cure, make the same
quantity as before, aud that will I've sufficient
The patient should u0s drink any kind Of spirits
whatever, and should be particular in his diet
avoiding all kinds Of gross heavy food, such as
salt bacon aud the like; also sweet milk also
avoid getting wet take very moderate exercise
live on very light diet, such rice, soup of fowls
&c. carefully avoid drinking heavy draughts OIL
cold water drink as little rs possible.
The said Robert Blackwood has proved by ex
pertinent that this remedy has cured several per
sons who were entirely given out by all the bcs
doctors in this section. will mention the case o
Mrs. Thompson, near Chapel Hill. She was a
the point Of death, unable TO support herself ii
her bed, who is now in as good health as she evel
was. Also, Mrs. Hatch, still near neighbor, wbc
was very low with the consumption, and is nov
in perfect health. 10 the case Of Mr.. Thompson
wife, DR.. Yancey considered her incurabe ant
pronounced her lost. leel confident that b.
close application it will cure perhaps ninety mint
in hundred.
o. Mr. Blackwood thus offers the receipt 10 oil
who may be disposed to make trial Of il and !
ii should eject a cure, he has no doubt il will
he only asks in such case such compensation
their sense Of justice may dictate.
Papers throughout the United SintoS will rendc
great service to those who are afflicted with thi
disease, BY giving this a publication,
