family physician, and had attended him in his last
illness, was called to see me- He thought my case

For many years. In conjunction with my principal

For many years past have made as many as FIVE
hundred examinations, weekly with the 'Respi.

The great reason hy physicians do not cnre Con

give medicines to stop the cough to stop the night

the whole digestive system, locking up the secTe-

Bourbon Whisky is recommended nowadays by
almost every physician. Many patients that visit
my rooms, both male and female, are supplied with

instead Of curing Consumption.
The SEAWEED TONIC produces lasting results,
invigorating the stomach and digestive
system, and enabling it to eliminate and make into
healthy blood the food which may be used for that
purpose II is wonderful in its effects that wine
