tered its efficacy has been invariably mani

is disturbed in the last stages, violent
coughing, proiuse cold sweats, and constant
diarrhGa, with hic-coughs, close the scene.

operates so as to remove all morbid rrita-
ton and inflammation from the lungs 10 the

astringent articles, which are of so drying
nature as to be in great danger Of dos
