regular professional visits to New York, Boston
Baltimore and Pittsburg.
For several years past have made as many
as five hundred eN;.minations weekly with tho
"Kcspirometer." For such examination my
charge is three dollars, and it enables me To
give each patient the true condition of his dis

cure Consumption is, that they try to do too
much they give medicine to stop the cOugh, to
stop the night sweats, hectic fever, and by so
doing they derangc the whole digestive system,
locking up the secretions, and eventually the
patient dies.
The Pulmonc Syrup is ono Of the most vaIu-
able medicines known. 1t is nutrient, power
fully tonic and healing In itself. II contains mo
opium, vet loosens the phlegm in the bronchial
tubes, and nature throws It off with little exer-
