rises out of bed in a relaxed and feeble condi-
ton.
There is an extreme liability to take cold on
, The slightest exposure. By degrees the cough
becomes more frequent and troublesome, par
tcularly in the evening and morning, or at
night on awakening from sleep. AS the disease
advances, the skin, lips, tongue and fauces
become dry in the afternoon, slight chills
regularly occur towards evening, followed by
fever, during which one or both cheeks become
suffused with circumscribed flush: drv.
burning heat is felt in the palms of the hands
and soles of the feet, the breathing is very quick
and short, and the pulse very frequent small.
quick and tense. These febrile paroxysms con.
tinue till toward midnight, when they terminate
in more or less protuse perspiration, which con-
ttnues until morning, leaving the sufferer
exhausted, languid and depressed. Frequently
previous to the occurrence of this train of
symptoms, the eXpectorauon becomes thicker
and not unfrequentlY mixed with blood. The
feeling of load in the chest and emAciation
increase, attended with increasing failure of
strength.
Towards the unfavorable termination of the
disease, swelling of the feet and diarrhoer almost
invariably come on, accompanied with weak
and hoarse voice, difficulty of swallo wing, and
somctimes liberated throat, until death relieves
the sufferer.
1t is generally admitted by medical men of
every school that this form of consumption
cannot be cured by any application of their
art. However, some of the most liberal and en-
Iightened physicians in Europe and America
have thought otherwise, and as testimony ot
EXPTRIENCE Is more reliable than any hypothe.
Gated authority, am enabled to declare and to
prove that Pulmonary Consumption can be
cured, and that it has been cured in very many
instances; and that even when it has advanced
to some of its last stages, one of the
hrst indications of cure is to strengthen the
system, and this may be done by the means
pointed out above. For that DEBILITY
Whlch marks the commencement of the
disease my Sea Weed Tonic and a highly
nutritious diet are the best remedies. When
the system is strengthened and the digestive
organs are restored 10 their heathful tone, the
most alarming symptoms will sometimes dis
appear. But should it prove otherwise, and if
appearances make it evident that the lungs are
beginning to decay, my Pulmonic Syrup will
arrest the progress of the disease, some
times almost Immediately when the circum.
stances are favorable, and sometimes
when the case, by neglect or delay, has
become almost hopeless, and quite so in the
estimation of physicians generally. The Syrup
promotes expectoration, and thus enables the
system TO throw off the disease. No one denies
that when the patient cannot discharge the
morbid matter by expectoration death speedily
ensues The Syrup, by keeping the phlegm
loose, eI ables the patient to raise it easily and
the diseased matter which obsructs the lungs
is removed the liberation is healed, aud the
sufferer is gradually restored to health.
