THE HISTORY
CURED OF CONSUMPTION.

MANY years ago, willis. residing in Philadelphia
had progressed gradually into the last stage OF Pu
Inonsry Consumption. All hopes Of my recovery

my temporal anairs. In this apparently hopeless,
condition, 1 heard of tho remdies now make and

ing their way, pnd penetrating every nerve, hbrs
and tissue of my SYSTEM
My lungs and liver put on new action, and the
morbid matter which for years had accumulated and
irrned the different organs OF the body. was slimi-
mated, the tubercles my lungs ripened, and ex-
perforated from my lungs much as pint OF yellow
offensive matter every morning. AS this eIpectora-
ton OF matter subsidized, the fever ahated, and pain
left me- the cough ceased to harrass me- and the
hausting niGht-swtnts we're no longer known, and l
had refreshing sleep, to which had long been q
stranger. My appetite nos began to return, and at
time, found it difcrlt to restrain myself from eat

ME, far and near to ascertain whether their cases
were like mine.
For many years, In conjunction with my principal
Office in Philadclpnis have been making regular
professional visits to New York, Boston, Baltimore
and Pittsburgh.
For many years past have made as many ar five
hundred examinations weekly, with tho "Resprom-

The great reason why physicians do not cure Con-
sumption is, that they try TO do too much; they give
medicines stop the cough, to stop the night sweats
hectic fever and by so doing they derange the whole
digestive system locking up the secretions, and
eventually the patient dies.
The PulmUnic Syrup is one Of the most valuable
medicines known. 1t is nutrient, po~srfully tonic

which disorders ths stomach orpors the yer, locke

Bourbon Whisksy is recommended now days by
almost every physician. Many patients that visit
my rooms, both male aud female, stupened with
this poison. The reliefis temporary. fthey cough,

feeble, they lake littlo Whisky II they cannot

this way requiring more and more, until they are

destroyed, and they lsse their appetite for food No
one was cured of consumption by this process,
where cavities have been formed In tho lungs. A
little stimulant is frequently beneficial to consump-
tives, such pure Brandy or good Wines-in many
cases London Porter or Brown Stout, in moderate
quantities; bui Bourbon whisky hastons on, instead
OF curing consumption.
The sEAwEED TONIC produces lasting results,
thoroughly invigorating the stomach and digestive
system, and enabling it to eliminate and make Into

purpose 1t is so wonderful in its effects that wine
