CURED OF CONSUMPTION.

M.rv years aro. whilst residing In Philadelphia,
had progressed gradually Into the last stage OF fnl
monary Consumption. All hopes OF my recoLery
being dissipated, was advised by my physician
Or. Parrish, to remove into tho coantry, Moores,
town N. j., being my native place, was removed

ton. Dr. Thornton, who had been my Nthers inni-
lily physician, aud had attended him IN MS hst III
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 10 arrange
my temporal affairs. In this apparently hopeless
condition, heard OF the remdies now make an"
sell. II seemed to me that could feel them work
ing their way, and penetrating every nerve' hore'
and tissue Of my system.
My lungs and liver put on new action, ana ths
morbid matter which for years had accumulated and
rrtated the different organs Of the body was elini
mated, the tuberces on my lungs ripened, ana exc
perforated from my lungs as much ASA pint oil yellow
offensive matter every morning. AS this eNpectora

left me- the cough ceased TO harrass me, and tho ex
hausting night.sweats we're no longer known, and
had refreshing sleep, to which hau long oeeh a

times found 1t difficult to restrain myself IRON eat

of the right lung and the lower lobe hepatizcd with
complete adhesion to the peura. The left lung is
sound and the upper lobe Of the right one Is In u

Consumption at that time was thought to be an
incurabe disease by every physicians as well as

me- far and near, to ascertain whether their cases
were like mine.

office in Phiiadelphis, have been making regular
professional visits to Now York, Boston, Baltimore

The great reason why physicians do not cure Con.
sumption is that they tryto do too much; they give
medicines to stop the cough, to stop the night sweas
hectic fever, and by so doing they derage the whole
digestive system, locking up tho secretiops, aho
