JlOh OIL new England. The Doctor who Is wise
and shrewd, saw at a glance what could and
what could not be done in the few remaining
hours of the day, and, entering the reception
rooms, proceeded TO address those present. Civ
ing, as will be seen, some very excellent coun-
sci. The Doctor deals in common sense, makes
plain statements, and knows what he says He
spoke as follows:-
Ladies and Gentlemen:--
see there are more here than can properly
attend to, and so must try and manage it to
get at a number of you at time Many of you
only want a little advice. You have seen me
before. Some of you have come a long dis
tance, and are apparently too feeble to wait
your turn. Those that wish thorough eXami-
nation with the Respirometer will take into
my private room as soon as possible. My
charges are five dollars for an examination. I
can listen to your lungs, and tell pretty well
their condition, but If you want to know their
exact state-whether it is Bronchial, Tubercu-
lOus, Pleuritic, or Pulmonary Consumption and
whether you are durable or not-you must be
examined with the Resprometer. 1t is the only
proper way of auscultatng. Consumption can
be cured; lungs deeply diseased can be healed
up if the system Is got into healthy healing
condition. The course pursued by the majority
of physicians is all wrong. They never cure
Their Cod Liver Oil and Whisky only ruin the
stomach. frequently, in riding in the cars, get
seated 10y consumptves They have all their
traps for drinking with them, and as soon as
they get into spell of coughing they take
drink of whisky. And so they go on, and many
drink quart day. Take wei man. and
let him drink in this way, and he will soon lose
his appetite. Many of you have cough, night
sweats, creeping chills; and you all want to
have them stopped. You think you would be
so much better. What causes it? The dis.
eased lungs. Get them to healing, and they
will stop.
If your lungs arc diseased, the first and only
thing to be done is to get the strength; and the
only way to do that is to cleanse the stomach
and liver; then the stomach Will crave food,
and make good blood, and that blood will
give strength, and the lungs will begin to heal.
If both lungs are not too badly affected,
with my Mandrake Pills, sea-Weed Tonic, and
Pulmonic Syrup l can frequently effect the
most wonderful cures of Consumption A cure
frequently requires gentle purging for some
length of time, to get the stomach and liver TO
act naturally.
The Sea-Weed Tonic being an alkali, preserves
the food in the stomach until it is digested, pre-
cases of lung diseases, the action of the system
is so slow that food lies in the stomach and
sours. Blood is made OF it after it is spoiled;
and this is the way our blood gets thick and
bad Canker, Sore Throat and Catarrh pro-
ceed from this sour stomach. Burning out the
throat with caustic and gargles afford only tenn
porary relief 1t should be treated the same as
when the tongue IS coated or sick headache.

or a deranged state of the stomach. Get up
good appetite, eat good, rich food fat meat
gravy-in fact, nearly everything the appetite
craves-and the lungs will soon begin to
heal No matter whether the sore Is inside
or outside, if the system is healthy it
Will heal up. You can hardly stop it. 1t is
its nature to heal. You may notice persons
that have Scrofula OF any old chronic running
ulcers; they are all of feeble or bilious cOndi-
ton, their digestion is poor, and they have not
a healthy circulation of blood, Some three or
four years ago a lady, Mrs. Bartholomew, came
TO nv rooms, No. 32 Bond street, New York;
she had a tumor, with two running ulcers on
her liver, which had been running fourteen
years, and they kept getting worse. She was
costive, skin yellow, very stupid and dull, liver
and stomach torpid, and no circulation. In
three months | ran the disease all out. The
ulcers healed and she is now bright, healthy
woman. Now there is one very important
matter to be attended to in curing consumption,
and that is TO prevent taking cold. Your physi-
clan may tell you to go out every pleasant day.
This, in my opinion, is a great mistake. Per-
sons in health go out and take colds.
When can persuade patients to keep their
rooms | am almost sure of success. Fresh all
is not essential to the healing of diseased lungs
the great secret is to prevent taking cold. Wher
they are able they can exercise about the rooms

which accompany my medicines are so explici
that any one can take them without seeing me
There Is not a day but what hear of some witt
have been cured that never saw. Take th
medicine, and guard against taking cold. l
the lungs are not too far gone the stomach will
soon rcleanse itself, and the appetite will come
Eat plenty of good food, and nature will hea
the lungs AS | said before, do not depend o
something 70 ease the cough, to stop night
sweats and creeping chills. Some persons ma
think, when l speak of taking cold, that N
medicines may open the pores and lay ther
more liable; but It is right the reverse of tbi'
for wheu the stomach is cleansed, persons ar
not so liable to take cold as when the system
locked up. Frequently, when people take
cold. Il they would swallow dose of Mandrak
Pills II would work tOh; but instead of this the
take something to check it, which drives it bac
