Pulmonary Consumption has its origin in disease of the
stomach and from no other source. From the close
connection between the stomach and the lungs the
latter is constant recipient of all irritation from the
stomach, which tends to the formation of ubercles the
commencement Of Pulmonary Consumption by NOT

the intamed stomach This idea, am well aware, as re-
CARDS the cause Of Consumption is at variance with the
great mass of the wise heads Of the profession but it
does not make it any the less true There are as wise
heads as any in the profession who have promulgated
the doctrine for years; and years satisfied from
my own observation, that Consumption had its origin in
disease of the stomach and that too not in few isolated
cases. Dut IN every instance; and defy any physician

close examination it could not be found beyond doubt

DIGESTIVE ORGANS.
Consumption is as capable Of being cured as almost
any other disease when not too far advancedwhen the
lungs are not too much consumed 1t is impossible to
create new lungs or to make them grow out again and
occupy the place Of lung that has destroyed and

OF Pulmonary Consumption having been cured, and the
subject afterwards living good old age have been too
often shown by post norton examination to admit now

not attained by doctoring the lungs and having no re-
gard for other diseased organs No. not for by prescrb
