three dollars for that service, but all advice will

explain each case which may be offered to my
consideration.
COUGHS AND COLDS
"hen there is any predisposition to consump.
tlon the disease, in one or another OF its forms,
VIII often be developed by "a bad cold,n or
catarrh, the symptoms of which cannot be mis-
taken. When a person takes cold easily the
stomach or liver is generally diseased. In this
state of things the feeble condition of the system
cannot resist the changes of weather and other
external causes of disease, and so every expo
sure brings on catarrh, with its common
symptoms, bad cough, hoarseness, chils,
slight pains in the breast, etc. These signs
should not be neglected. and it is highly i'm
portant that the sufferer should know what
to do. When one cold is taken "on another
as the phrase goes the bronchial tubes or the
lungs become more or less diseased. A

they do harm By making the malady more in

Let 1T be remembered that when the stomach

to take cold or, if one is taken, it generally
passes Off without producing any serious or
alarming effects. On the contrary, when per-

dyspepsia and all diseases OF the digestive |

I. BRONCHIAL CONSUMPTION

remarked (under the head of Coughs and

healthy condition there is but little liability to
take cold; and IL no cold is taken there can be

uses these two medicines, or either of them, as
circumstances may require, need apprehend an
attack OF Bronchial Consumption, but If the use
OF these preventives has been neglected, and
the form of Consumption has commenced, it
will be necessary to use the Pulmonic Syrup in
addition 10 the other remedies.
The commencement OF Bronchial Consump-
tion is indicated by an obstinate and trouble
some cough, attended with q copious expecto
ration OF Viscid and purulent, or a whitish
frothy matter. At first the symptoms resemble
those OF an ordinary cold or catarrh, the expec-
toratiCn being tough, thick, and opaque, but not
yellow, containing small, greyish Jumps, which
sink IN water. AS the disease advances the
cough increases, and this tough mucus or
phlegm becomes more and more mixed with q
yellowish fluid, resembling pus or matter, and
often slightly streaked with blood. At first the
pulse becomes slightly accelerated and tense
towards evening; and the heat OF the surface of
the body varies in the course of the day, being
sometimes above and sometimes below the
natural standard. Partial sweats occur in the
head and breast at night. The thirst is gene.

colored, and deposits copious, reddish sedi-
ment. sense of soreness in the chest with
an occasional transient stitch in the side, occurs
in the majority of instances, but there is very
rarely any fixed pain in the chest. The cough |
is usually severe, particularly on rising out of
bed in the morning, at which time the breathing
IS mole or less wheeling, and attended with
feeling OF tlghtness in the breast.
If the disease continues unchecked in its
course, the expectoration becomes purulent and
extremely cooious. Debility and emaciation
increase rapidly; the difficulty of breathing and
sense of weight and tightness across the chest
become more and more distressing. The pulse
is now generally very frequent, bcing seldom
