Many years ago, whist residing In Philadel-
phis, had progressed gradually into the last
stage Of Pulmonary Consumption. All hopes Of
my recovery being dissipated, l was advised BY
Dr.. Parrish to remove into the country Mooses.

ed thither. Ny father and all his family had liv-
ed and died therc-died Of Pulmonary Consump-
ton. On my arrival was put 10 bed, where
lay for many weeks in what was deemed hope
less condition. DR.. Thornton, who had been my
fathers family ply stefan, and had attended him
in his last illness, was called to see me. He
thought my case entirely beyond the reach Of
medicine, and decided that must die, and gave
me one week to arrange my temporal affairs. In
this apparently hopeless condition, heard Of the
remeds which now make and sell. II seemed
to me that could feel them working their way,
and penetrating every nerve, fibre, and tissue Of
my system.
My lungs and liver put on new action. and
the morbid matter which for years had sccumu
lated and irritatcd the different organs Of the
BODY was eliminated, the tubercles Of my lungs
were ripened, and 1expectorated from my lungs
as.much as a pint ofyellow offensive matter every
morning As this expectoration Of matter SUBJ
sided, the fever abated, the pain left me, the
cough ceased 10 harrsss me, and the exhausting
night -sweats were no longer known. and had
retire shing sleep to which l had long been q
stranger. My appetite now began to return, and
ut times found II difficult TO restrain myself
from eating too much; with this return Of health
gained in weight and now am heshy l am now
healthy man, with large healed cicatrix in
er lobe hepatized with complete adhesion Of the
pleura. The left lung is sound, and the upper
lobe Of the right one is in tolerably healthy
condition.
Consumption at that time was thought to be
an ncurable disease, by every one, ply sicisns -

gave the medicine to consumptives for some
time, and made many wonderful cures; and the

far and near, to ascertain whether their cases
were like mine.
For many years, in conjunction with my prin-
cipal Office In Philadelphia, have been making
regular professional vista 10 New York, Boston,
baltimore and Pittsburg.
For several yenrs past, lhave made as many
- five hundred examinations weekly with the
.,Respirometer." For such examinations my
charge is three dollars and it enables me to give
each patient the true condition of his disease and
tell him frankly whether hewill get well.
The great reason why physicians do not cure
Consumption is, that they try 10 do too ouch !;
they give medicines to stop the cough. TO stop
the light -sweats, hectic fever. and by 90 doing
they derange the whole digestive system. lock.

dies.
