IMPORTANT TO THE PUBLIC.

ted no little stir in the medical ranks
At first we thought it was one of the
humbug of the day, and uttered not a
word of approval; but the evidence that
this gentleman has actually brought be-
fore the public remedy which does cure
. pulmonary consumption is overwhelming
and we are happy. that we are able
: to point the sick to source from which
; they may reasonably expect relief. We
took our pen to write an article upon
this subject: but our views have been
so well expressed by the editor of the
New York Atlas, that we will quote the
following article from that paper. We
advise all to read, and be candid.
"CAN CONSUMPTION BE cURED:"
: To that portion of the human family
afflicted with this horrible disease, this is
a question fraught with serious import.
With them it is a question of life or
death, the failure of the medical profess
sion, heretofore, to devise any means for
the cure of this disease, has invested it
with terror that accompanies scarcely
ever any other chronic complaint. To
assure man or woman that they had
the consumption was about equal to
saying, Your days are numbered you
may as well settle up your worldly affairs
and make your peace with your Creator,
for you must surely die with the disease
that now afflicts you. Quacks took ad-
vantage of this dread in the public mind,
and by pretending to be able to cure this
frightful disease, gathered golden har-
vest from the sufferers, while in fact they
were only attending them to the tomb.
| To SO great an extent had this species of
deception been carried, that the human
family began to think that the medical
faculty were right in pronouncing this
an incurable disease.
-'CAN CoNsUMPTIoN BE CURED:" is
still the inquiry of the sufferer; and the
poor mortal upon whom this disease has
set its fangs, like drowning man, still
catches at everything that promises re-
lief, and it is well that it is so. Were
it otherwise, any great discovery by
which disease can be cured would be of
no benefit, because the world had come
to the conclusion that there was no use
in trying.
Not long since DR.. Wesley GriEaie, a
physician of, high standing in this city,
announced that he had found a remedy
which actually cured this horrible disease.
Statements came to us from the most re-
liable sources of cures which had been
effected, which were truly startling in
their character, and we became convinced
that there must be reality in his cures,
aid so stated. Since we have seen the
living witnesses Of his triumph over the
worst form of disease and the desire
of each and every one of them is, that
we should make known this great dis
covery to the world, for the benefit of
others similarly affected.
With this evidence before us there
fore we have no hesitation in saying that
PULMONARY CONSUMPTION CAN BE
CURED. IT Is NO LONGER AN INCURA-
ELE DIsEAsE. This is saying great
deal more than we ever thought we
should be able to say, but it rests upon
positive proof; and it is due DR.. Grin
die that his discovery should be made
known to the world. For the benefit of
suffering men and woman, it should be
published in every newspaper in the
country. 1t is shame that the success
of Dr. G. has stirred up the malice and
envy of many physicians Of the conserv-
atiye order instead of this, he is worthy
Of our highest regard; and we predict
that the secret Of this medicine will, in
time, be bought up by the profession,
and prove an important accession to the
healing art, and specific for the cure
of a disease, that perhaps fills more graves
annually than any other in the catalogue
of ailments. This subject is creating
great sensation among physicians as well
as Others, and our advice to consump-
tive invalids is, that they lose no time in
obtaining this great remedy. What if
we have been deceived heretofore Bet
ter be cheated thousand times by mere.
nostrum wonders, than once reject the
means of cure when placed within ous
reach, and cheat ourselves out of our
lives. Though this medicine has been
before the public but a short time, i'm
mensc quantities are already being dis
patched by mail and express to many
parts of the country.
For the benefit of those who wish tc
obtain this truly GREAT REMEDY, VIC
