CURED OF CONSUMPTION.

MANY wears ago, whilst residing In Philadelphia
had progressed gradually Into the las stage OF Pnl
monary Consumption. All hopes OF my recovery
being dissipated, was advised by my physician
DR.. Parrish, to remove into tho coantry, Moorcs
town n. j., being my native place, was removed
thither. My father and all his family had lived and
died th,re-and died of Pulmonary Consumption
On my rival l was put to bed, where l lay toi
muny weeks In what was deemed n hopeless cOndi
tion. Dr. Thornton, who had been my 'nthers fam
lily physician and had attended him In his last ILL
ness, Sps called to see me. He thought my case en-
tcrely 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 remidies now make and
sell. 1t seemed to me that could feel them work
ing 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 hal accumulated and
irraed the different organs of the body. was elimi
nated the tubercles on my lungs ripencd, and ex
perforated from my lungs rs much as pint OF yellow
offensive matter every morning As this eSnectorn
ton OF matter subsidized, the fever ahated and pain
left me- the cough ceased to harrass me, and the ex
hausting night.sweats were no longer known, and
had refreshing sleep, to which had long been q
stranger. My appetite now began to return. and nj
times found II difficult to restrain myself from eat
ing too much; with this return OF health gained ir
strength and am now fieshy. l am now healthy
man with large healed ccatrx in the middle lob,
of the right lung and the lower lobe hepatizcd with
complete adhesion to the pleura. The left lung |,
toerably healthy condition.
Consumption at that time was thought to be al
ncurable disease by every one, physicians as well al
those unlearned In medicne-especially such case;
as we're reduced to the condition was in This in
duced many people TO believe my recovery only TEN
pory. l now prepared mud gave medicines to con
sumptives for some time, and made many wonderful
cures: and the demand increased rapidly that dc
termned to offer them to the public, and devote my
undivided attention to lung diseases. In truth,
was next to forced to it, for people would send fol
me, far and near, to ascertain whether their case
were like mine.
For many years, in conjunction with my principa
office in Philadelphia, have been making regular
professional visits to New York, Boston, Baltimore
and Pittsburgh.
For many years past, I have made many as fiv
hundred examinations weekly, with the "Rcspirom
eter" For such examinations my charge is three
dollars, and II enables me to give each patient tn
true condition of his disease, and tell him irankl,
whether he will get we'll
The great reason why physicians do not cure Con
sumption is that they try TO do too much they Civ
medicines to stop the cough to stop the night sweas
hectic fever and by so doing they derange the Who'll
digestive system, ing up the secrctions, AM
eventually the patient dies.
The Pulmouic Syrup is one of the most valuabl
medicines known. 1t is nutrient, powerfully toni
and healing in itself. 1t contains no opium, yet /
