MY lungs and liver put on a new action, and the

me, far and near to ascertain whether their cases
were like mine.
For many years, in conjunction with my principal
office in Philadelphia, have been making regular
professional visits to New York, Boston, Baltimore
and Pittsburgh.
For many years past have made as many as five
hundred examinations weekly, with the "hespirom-

dollars, and il enables me to give each patient tho

digestive system, locking up the secretions, and
eventually the patient dies.

Bourbon Whiskey is recommended nowadays by
almost every physician. Many patients that visit
my rooms, both male aud female, are stupefed with

they take little Whiskey; If they feel weak and

one was ever cured Of consumption by this process

quantities; but Bourbon whisky hasiens on, instead
