halation affords extraordinary relief TO the
suffering attending this fearful scourge, which
annually destroys ninety five thousand per.

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 that Supreme Being, from
