Many years ago, whilst residing in Phiadcl-
pha had progressed gradually into the last
stages of Pulmonary Consumption. All hopes
of my recovery being dissipated / was advised
by my physician, DR.. Parrish, to remove into the
country. Moorstown, New Jersey, being my ma
tive place, was removed thither. My father
died of Pulmonary Consumption; On my arri-
val was put to bed, where lay for many
/ weeks in what was deemed a hopeless cOndi-
ton. DR.. Thornton, who had been my fathers
family physician and had attended him in his
my case entirely beyond the reach of medicine,
and decided that must die, and gave me one
apparently hopeless condition. heard of the
rcnelies which now make ana sell; 1t seem

For several years past have made as many

cure Consumption is, that they try to do too
stop the night swcats, hectic fever, and by so
doing they derange the whole digestive system,

patient dies.
