My lungs and liver put on action and the

expeetofated from my lungs much as a pint of

medicines to consumptyes for some time, and made
many wonderful cures; and the demand increased
SO rapidly that determined TO offer them 10 the
public and devote my undivided attention to lung

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

For many years past have made as many as five
hundred examinations, weekly with the "Respi-
rOmetOr," For such examinations my charge Is
three dollars and it enables me to give each patient
the true condition of his disease and tell him frank

The great reason why physicians do not cure Con.
sumption is that they try to do too much they give
medicines to stop the cough, to stop the night
sweats, hectic fever and by so doing they derange
the whole digestive system, locking up the secfe

Bourbon Whisky Is recommended now a-days by
almost every physician. Many patients that visit
