Many years ago, whilst residing In Philadelphia,
had progressed gradually into the last stage of Pull
monary CONSUMPTION. All hopes Of my recovery
being dssipated, was advised by my physician,
DIR. Parrish, to remove into the coantry, Moores.

died tn land died of Pulmonary Consumption
On my rival I was put to bed, where L lay for
many weeks In what was deemed hopeless condi-
ton. Dr. Thornton, who had been my father's fam
lily physician and had attended him In his last ILL
ness, was called to see me- He thought my case en-,
tcreiy beyond the reach OF medicine, and decided
that must die, and gave me one week to arrange
my temporal affairs. In this apparently hopeless
condition, heard Of the remidies now make and
sell II seemed to me that could feel them work
ing their way, and penetrating every nerve, hbre,
and tissue of my system.
My lungs and liver put on new action, apd the
morbid matter which for years had accumulated and
irrtated the different organs Of the body WAS cini-
mated, the tubercles on my lungs ripened, ana ex-
perforated from my lungs az much as pint yellow
offensive matter every morning. AS this expectora'
tion Of matter subsidized the fever obated, and pain
left me- the cough ceased TO harrass me- and the ex
hai,sting night -sweats we're no longer known, and
had refrcshine sleep, to which had long been
strnnger. Ny appetite now began TO return, ana at

cures: and the demand increased rapidly that de-

undivided attention to lung diseases. In truth, l
was next to forced to 1t, for people would send for
me- far and near, TO ascertain whether their cases
were like mine.
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, I have made as many as FIVE
hundred examinations weekly with the "Respirom-
etor." For such examinations my charge is three
dollars aud It enables me TO give each patient the
true condition Of his disease and tell him frankly
whether he viii get we'll.
The great reason why physicians do not cure Con-
sumption is that they try TODD too much; they give
medicines to stop the cough, stop the night sweas,
hectic fever, and by doing they derange the whole
digestive system, locking up the secretions, and
eventually the patient dies
