COD LIVER OIL INCONSUMPTI0N.

COD LIVER OIL in CONSUMPTION.
ssVTNHE ADVOCATES Of the use Of Cod Liver
Il Oil in consumption say that it presents ono
OF the most beautiful examples Of the curative op-
GRAFTON OF medical ngent ever known. 1t cures
by promoting, in the fullest sense, q restorative
process in the system. It acts, in the first in
stance, by improving the digestive functions, and
supplying the necessary ingredients for nutrition,
which is the basis of health. Under its use, the
chye, which is the nutritious product Of digestion,
and taken up from the slimen!ary canal by the lac
teals, becomes Of healthy quality, so as readily
to be changed into fbrine, and thus uos only con-
trbuting to the amount of nutrment for the uses Of
the system but cuts off the supply Of this unchsn-
ged albumen, which acts as q morbid product when
it reaches the blood to be deposited in the lungs as
tubercular matter. The operation Of the oil in
promoting these changes is referable in great
measure to two principles, one Of which issnutri-
tive, and the other strictly medcinal."
clip the above from the New York "Sunday
Times" Of June 90, for the purpose Of showing
why Cod Liver Oil so often fails in beneftting the
invalid, and why it ought not to be so regarded,
as it is by great many, as an almost "specihc'
in diseases of the lungs, more especially Gonsump-
ton, for it most assuredly is very far from being
such.
That there is faulty and very impoverished
nutrition and want Of good supply ofhealthy
blood in consumptive patients is true, and fully
shown by their reduced, weakened, lean, attenu-
ated and almost bloodless appearance. What is
the cause Of this want Of good, rich blood, which
only can nourish the system? It is that the chyle
las have shown in my previous advertisements,)
of which good, rich, and healthy blood is made,
does not and cannot enter into the circulation
Why? Because Of the condition of the digestive
organs-because, as ! have already shown,in pre-
vious advertisements the mouths Of the little Ses-
sells, called lacteals, which convey the cbyle into
the circulation, and which open into the upper
bowels, are closed up, and cannot take or abb
surb this chyle What closes themf The swol-
len state Of the mucus membrane of the digestive
organs, which membrane, besides lining the stoni-
ach and bowels, also dips into and lines these lit
tie vessels; and from the fact Of the mouths Of
those little vessels, the lacteals, being 90 very
small, it is very easy to see that there could not
be much swelling Of that membrane without bring
ing together their sides, and entirely closing them
up. What produces this swollen state of the mu-
Gus membrane? inflammation of the digesape organs,
which is the first cause and the only cause, Of Con-
sumption. - T
This statement of the cause of Consumption, I
am well aware, will be pronounced by, many as
very far from being true, but rs shah, in some
of my future advertisements, treat upon Consump-
ton, its causes and cure will in the present in
stance remark that there never was q case Of Con-
sumption that had not its origin ininfamed diges-
tive organs, and there never was a,case Of Con-
sumption but that its origin could have been easily
traced to disease of the nutritiye organs for no
case of Consumption ever existed without disease
Of the stomach being present at the same time.
Now comes the question: II from the closed
condition Of the mouths of the lacteals il is aH i'm
possibility for them to take up and absorb the
chye and convey it into the circulation, is it not
also an impossbilty for them to absorb Or take up
Cod Liver Oil, or anything else? Most certainly
We do not discuss its remedial properties after it
enters the circulation for in the state Of system
under consideration, It don't get tasrs, or at any
rate, but limited quantity, and can't get there,
for the vessels through which it has to pass are
closed up.
may, in stating that all, euSty one, Of those
vessels are closed say that which is not tprecsely
true, for it may be possible, yes, and probable,
that the entire lining membrene Of the digestive
organs is not in congested state as to produce
uniform tumerfaction or swelling Of that entire
membrane but that the greater portion is in ON
infamed and swollen state is true, from the fact
of the patient becoming lean and thin in flesh,
which state can only be brought about by the clo-
sure of those vessels and the imperfect digestion
that is necessarily the result of the naamed con-
dition Of the mucus membrane Of the digestive
| organs.
From the above it will be seen, TINT, no matter
how much remedial virtues Cod Liver Oh may
possess or how Ito quote from aboYe) stunder its
use the chyle, which is the nutritious product Of
dgestions, and taken up from the slimentary canal
by the lscteals, (ony it isn't becomes Of healthy
aualiy'-so long as il does not enter the circula-
ton because it cannot get through those closed
up vessels it cannot, of course be of any bene-
fit to the patient, for it passes off With the stool.
From the foregoing, it will be perceived thatthe
first step towards o successful treatment of the
disease, Consumption, is the removal Of its cGUsE,
viz diseased dgesire organs; this being done, the
powers of the system will accomplish the balance
of the work, providing the lungs be not too far
consumed. A remedial agent must be employed
that will do away with this congested and swollen
| condition Of the mucus membrane-and this con-
gested and swollen mucus membrane must be got
rid of for tpo reasons-frst, that imperfect diges-
tion, and the manufacturing Of chyle poor in quail
ity, which is the inevitable result of q diseased
stomach, may be done away with; and, second,
that the closed lacteals may be restored to their
| natural condition, so as to admit the chyle and
pass it on into the circulation. This being done,
not only will chyle of good healthy quality be
manufactured, but it will have free passage into
circulation, and be made into good, rich blood,
which will nourish the entire system, and enable
it's powers, the ris metdcatr1r nature, to throw of
the disease.
