hither. My father and all his family had lived and
died tn .re-and died of Pulmonary. Consumption
On my arrival was put to bed, where lay for
many weeks in what was deemed a hopeless condi-

ness was 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 remdies now make and

and tissue of my system.
MY lungs and liver put on n new action, and the

perforated from my lungs as much as pint OF yellow
