to use one that contains articles Of real use in

The medicine 10 which l refer is DR.. Halle

in q la &c number OF cases., and always with
success. One case in particular 10 which l
wish now TO refer, was given up by several
physic ans who had been called in consulta-

symptoms Of confirmed consumption, such
as cold night sweats, hectic fever, harassing
cough, with continued pain in the lobe Of the
right lung, attended with severe diarrheai
He commenced Immediately 10 get better BY
