And here would take occasion to advert to the very

Consumption is 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 been destroyed and
annihlaed by liberation, suppuration and expecora
ton; but when sufficient of the lung remains for the pu
poses Of their Office not only further destruction may be
remeded but an entire healthy action of the remaining
portion of the lung may be brought about Facts of
of Pulmonary Consumption having been cured and the
subject afterwards living to good old age have been too
adsys, Of single doubt But rest assured this end is
not attained by 'doctorng the lungs, and having
gard for other diseased organs No, for by prescrb
ing for the lungs, most valuable time being lost and
without bene6tting the patient PARTICLE for the effect

the root of the evil and to strike effectively go at

the only cause Of all this trouble and only by removing
this the patient have any hope Of recovery To talk
about curing Consumption BY applying remedies to the
lungs and taking thought or nstuting treatment
for other diseased parts OF the system, is all nonsense
and empyriesm. No patient ever cured, nor ever
will be by such pfescrlI tons Look we'll the stomach

There are thousands of cergymen throughout the Unit

From the fact Of the membrane OF the air tubes
being constant recipient Of irritation having its ORR
gin in diseased digestive organs, these air tubes take
