The daily Mississippi clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1866-1866, 1866-04-10

Many years ago whilst residing in Philadelphia
had progressed gradually into the last stage OF
Pulmonary Consumption All hopes of my recove-
ry being dissipated was advised by my physician,
DIR. Parrish, to remove into the country. Moores-
town n. j.. being my native place, | was removed
thither My father and all his family had lived and
died there-and died of PulOnary Consumption.
On my arrival was put to bed, where l Law for
many weeks in what was deemed hopeless con
ditiOn. DIR. Thornton. who had been my fathers
family physician, and had attended him in his last
illness, was called to see me. He thought my case
entirely beyond the reach of medicine and decided

my temporal affairs In this apparently hopeless
condition, l heard of the remedies which now
make and sell. 1t seemed to me that l could feel
them working their way, and penetrating every
nerve, fibre and tissue Ofmy system.
My lungs and liver put a action, and the
morbid matter which for years had accumulated and
rritated the different organs of the body, was elm
mated, the tubercles on my lungs rpened, and
expectorated from my lungs as much as a pint of
yellow offensive matter every morning As this eX-
pectoratiOn of matter subsidized the fever abated
the pain left me- the cough ceased to harass me and
the eXhaustiHg nlght-sweats were no longer known
and had refreshing sleep 20 which had long been

at times found it difficult to restrain myself from
eating too much; with this return of health; gain

healthy man with large healed eicatrix in the mid

Consumption at that time was thought to be an
incurable disease, by every one physician as well
as those who were unIearned in medicine-especal-

many wonderful cures; and the demand increased
so rapidly, that determined to offer them to the
public, and devote my undivided attention to lung
diseases. In truth was next to forced to it, fol-

whether their cases were like mine
For many years, in conjunction with my princi.

The Pulmonic Syrup is one of the most valuable

readily digested and absorbed into the blood Ia

Bourbon Whisky ia recommended NOWADAYS by
almost every physician Many patients that visit
