Many years ago, whilst residing In Philadelphia
had progressed gradually into the last stage Of Pull

being dissipaed, l was advised by MY physician,
Dr.. Parrish TO remove into the country, Moores.

tcrely beyond the reach OF medicine, and deciaeu
that I must die, and gave me one week to arrange

of the right lung and the lower lobe hepatized with
complete adhesion to the pleura. The left lung is

tolerably healthy condition.
Consumption at that time was thought TO DO an
incurable disease by every one physicians as well as

undivided attention to lung diseases. In truth,
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, | have made as many as five
hundred examinations weekly, with the "Respirom.

dollars and it enables me TO give each patient the
true condition Of his disease, and tell him frankly
whether he Will get well.
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 sweais
hectic fever and by doing they derange the whole
digestive system, locking up the secretions aud
eventually the patient dies.
