Truly the quiver of death has no arrow so
fatal as Consumption. In all ages il has been
the great enemy of life, for il spares neither

By the help of tba, Supreme Being, from
whom cometh every good and perfect gift,
am enabled 10 offer to the afflicted perma-

first cause of tubercles is from impure
blood. and the immediate effect, prodnced
by their disposition in the lungs, is to prevent
the free admission of air into the air cells,

the powerful and direct influence ol this
mode OF administration, chloroform inhaled
