"TO CONSUMPTRVES."

uSpIlenG OF q h6V. IIOWdTu n. w ItSOu, du"
jesSed Ito consumptives," should receive
0me notice, aud The nature of the advertiser
reject exposed The FACT that be call, him
ii a & reverend. and that respectable news
apers consent 10 publish his advertisement,
nders necessary what might otherwise be
4 emed superfu0us. If persons would only
.use to consider the fact that, with all his
f.tended anxiety to 'bene6t the afflicted"
k il careful, nevertheless. not to publish the
description itself, they would at once suspect
that his benevolence is not altogether disinter-
eted.
The advertisement represents that the adver
hser was cured of consumption in a few weeks
"Ly a rery simple remedy" and that being
anxious to make known to his fellow suffer |
ss the means of cure he offers to send the |
reseriptiOn used to all who desire it g free of
aage" We are further informed that his |
bect in sending the prescription is to benefit |
he afflicted" and he therefore expresses the
eneVOlent hope that every sufferer will try
lis remedy as II toiu cost them nothing, and |
may prove blessing"
It appears from the circulars which accom-
spany the prescription, that this Wilson was
cured BY Dr. Churchill, of Paris, "a physician
who was gaining high reputation from his |
cures of consumption by the use of has prepare
aOns of the Extract of BLodgetti in cembina-
ton with the Hypophosphites of lime, &c"
The remedy, therefore, is 8 DR.. Churchill s |
remedy" aud he imports the ingredients 6 di-
nct from DR.. Churchill himself" The princi- |
pal ingredient in the prescription seems to be /
something which he calls Blodgetti. This
We are told is a preparation from the sea
Eeed, combining the beneficial qualities of Cod
Liver Oil and Iodine. Again, we are told,
hat Blodgetti is as old as the healing Grt itself
aud was used by the ancients and considered
by them as the only preventive or cure for
consumption: and ANY one who is disposed
70 be skeptieal on this point can readily satisfy
bis mind by reference to the 223d page of Ca

New York city and elsewhere
Notwithstanding these bold assertions BLoD-

eeyer tells the afflicted that his remedy is
