The late lament d death of Dr. Rush, from that
form OF consumption known as chronic bronchitis,
painfully reminds me of duly the subscrib her
owes to his profession and 70 the society, of
making known simple form of treatment that
has never failed him in cn'i'g this form of con-
sumpi n, SO destructive TO the clerical and literary
professions this trea ment is of nearly equal eff
cacy IN carhaI phthi,is, aud is a valuable remedy

stages, aud free from any iuf,mmatory symptoms.
This treatment is based on The pathology OF con.
sumption, The generic name for disease.
Under the name of consumption are include1
that variety of disease Of the lungs at ended with
expectoratiOn of pnrul-nt marier from the br-ati
ing surface Of the lungs, connected With emacla
ton, hectic fever. and concOmitants, n'ghI
sweats, coiquative diarriei etc. All The forms
of consumplipn act on the general health from
common eau e-the presence OF mailer acting on
ahsOf biug surfaces, and thus producing thO-e
symptoms known hectic frver. II is he pre-
