THE HISTORY
CURED OF CONSUMPTION.

Many years ago, whilst residing in Philadelphia,
had progressed gradually into the last stage of Pull
mQpary Consumption. All hopes of my recovery
being dsspated I advised by my physician,
Dr. Parrish, to remove into the coantry, Moores
town N. j., being my native place. was removed
thither My father and all his family had lived and
died thtre-and died of Pulmonary Consumption-
On my arrival was put to bed, where i lay for
many weeks in what was deemed hopeless condi-
ton. Dr. Thornton, who had been my fathers fam
lily physician, and had attended him in his last ILL
ness, was called to see me- He thought my case en-
terely beyond the reach of medicine, and decided
that must die, and gave week to arrange
my temporal affairs. In this apparently hopeless
condition, i heard of the remidies now make and

My lungs and liver put on new action, and the
morbid matter which for years had accumulated and
rritated tho different organs OF the body was elimi-
mated, the tubercles on my lungs rpened, and ex-
perforated from my lungs as much as pint of yellow
offensive matter every morning, As this eNpectora-
ton of natter subsidized, the fever ahated, and pain
left me- the cough ceased to harrass me, and the ex.
hausting nght-sweats were no longer known and
had refreshing sleep, to which had long been
stranger. My appetite now began to return, and at
times found it difficult to restrain myself from eat
ing too much; with this return of health gained in
strength, and am now teshy. am now a ealtby

For many years, in conjunction with my principal
office in Philadelphia have been making regular
professional visits to New York, Boston, Baltimore
and Pittsburgh.
For many years past, have made as many as five
hundred examinations weekly, with the "Respirom-

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 sweas,
hectic fever, and by doing they derange the whole
digestive system, locking up the secretions, and
eventually the patient dies.
