which he cid, aud examined me with the respir
ometer. When he was about TO go, asked him
if be could cure me. HIS reply was, II cannot

tubes are affected on both sides" And yet he
seemed to think there were lungs enough left to
effect cure il the diarrhea could be stopped
lie said, in order to do this, he would have to
give me n andrake Pills, in small doses at first,
10 carry oil ne morbid mater, and then, with
astrlpgents, he hoped 10 check It, which he did,
but the constant coughing, night -sweats and

my vital powers were too much Frustrated ever
to rally, end vet he seemed to think il ! could
live 10 get enough Pulmonic Syrup through my
system to cause cxpectOrsti0n there were lungs
enough leit for me TO recover. He wished me to
try the PulinOnic Syrup and Seaweed Tonic at
once, spying it would do me no harm, lift did me
no good. ! that night cornmenced taking ia
hiespoonful three times day each. The first
week 1t seemed to give me- strength, SO that on
Sunday after l sat up in bed and ate hearty for q
sick woman; but the next week lost all hope,
and wished nv husband not to give me any more
medicine But the doctor had warned him Of
this, that when the medicine was clearing out
the system it made them feel sometimes restless,
but to persevere; and he insisted on my taking
it; and now feel the benefit Of il; for after
