C1OD LIVER OIL IN CONsUMPTIoN.

"The advocates Of the use CT Cod Liver Oil in
sumption say that presents Of the most beautiful
examples Of the curative operation Of dicna agent
known It by promoting, in the fullest sense,
restorative process in the system It acts in the first
instance. by improving the digestive functions, and
supplying the necessary ingredients for nutrition, which
is the basis Of health Under its use the ohye which
is the rutrious product Il digestion, and up from
the amentary canal by the lseteals, becomes OF
healthy quality readily TO be changed into dbrine,
and thus not only contributing to the amount OF nu
ment for the Of the system but off the supply
Of this unchanged albumen, which acts morbid
product when it reaches the blood to be deposited In the
lungs tubeTculous matter The operation Of the oil in
promoting these changes is reerable in great
to two principles, Of which is nutrve aud the other
strictly medlfiua !"
clp the above from the New York SUNDAY Times of
June g. for the purpose Of showing why Cod Liver Oil
so often fails III bene6tng the invalid why it ought
not to be regarded it is by great many, as an
almost Specific" in diseases Of the lunes more espe
cialy Consumption, for it most assuTedy is far from
being such.
That a faulty and very impoverished nutrition
and want Of good supply Of healthy blood, in
consrmpiye patients, is true and fully shown by their
reduced, weakened lean attenuated, and almost blood
less appearance. What is the of this want of
good rich blood which only nourish the system! It
that the chyle, las l have shown in my previous
advertisements, Of which god rich, and healthy blood
IS made does not and cannot enter INTO the circulation
Whyf Because Of the condition of the digestive organs
-ot cause, as have already shown, in previous adver
tsemens, the mouths of the little vessels called laeteas,
which convey the chye into the circulation and winch
oren into the upper bowels closed up, and cannot
take up or absorb this chye. What closes tbeml The
swollen stat Of the mucus membrane of the digestive
organs which membrane besides ung the stomach and
oo"es also dips into and lines these little vessels and
rom the fact Of the mouths of those little vessels the
lacteals being SO very SMALL it very easy that
there could not be much swelling Of that membrane
without bringing together their Sides and emil ely closing
them up What produces swollen state Of the mucus
membranel inflammation Of The digesfipg organs
which is the frst and the ohtg cause Of Onsnp

I,sr
aware, VIII be pronounced by many v,ry lar from
being true, but as shall Of my f5ture advertise
menta, treat upon Consumption, its causes and cure,
Will IN tue present instance remark that there
case Of Consum pon that had not its origin in iuamed
cgestve organs, and there case Of Cousunp
ton but has its origin could have been easily traced 10
diseases OF the nutrVe organs, for Of Consump
lion ever existed without disease Of the stomach being
present at the time
Now comes the question; IT, from the closed condition
OF the mouths Of the sCteals 10 impossibilty for
them to take up and absorb the CT yle convey into
INC crculalon IS 1t nO also an impossiby for them to
take up or absorb Cod Liyer0n anything else? Most
certainty We do not discuss its remedial properties
after il enters the circulation for in the state OF the
system under consideration don't get there or at any
rate but limited quantity, can't get there for the
Vesse through which it has pass are closed mp.
may, in stating that all, every one. of those vessels
are closed say that which is precisely true for may
De possible yes, and probable, that the eore lining
membrane OF the digestive organs in SO congested
state as to produce uniform tGmefaction swelling
OF that eurs membrane; but that the greater portion
10 an luhamed and Swollen state true the fact
the palent becoming eau aud thin in hesh which state
can only be brought about by closure those Vessels
and the imperfect digestion hat is necessarily the result
OF the iuhaned condition Of the mucus membrane of the
digestive orgaus
From the above it will be seen, that, no matter how
much remedial virtue Uod Liver Oil may possess or how

the aimenary canal by the lacteals Ionly it isn'tl

enter the circulation oectuse get through those
closed up vessels) Cannot course be of any benefit
to the patient, for it passes off with the STOOL
Fson the foregoing i. will be PERCEIVED, that the FIRST
step towards successful treatment Of the oisease
consumption Is the removal Of its CAUSE viz: diseased
digestive organs; this being done, powers of the
system will accomplish the balance work. providing
the lungs be not to- far Consumed A remedial agent
must be ployed that will do away with this congested
and swollen condition of the membrane-and this
congested and swollen membrane must be got rid
OF Tor TWO REAS0EShrst, that Imperfect DIGESTION and
the manufacture OF cbyle poor in quality Rhch is the
inevitable result of diseased stomach may be done
away With and second, that The closed scteas may
restored to their natural condition. SO as to admit the
chyle and pass it into the circulation. This being
done not only will chyle of good, healthy quality be
manufacturer, but it will have free passage into the
circulation, and be made iuto good, rich blood which
will nourish the entire system, and enable its powers the
UeS metacatrfr nature to throw off tue disease.
What remedial agent will do this work!
