CURE CONSUMPTION,

folly ON my part TO argue that lung once totally de-

require powers equal TO those by which miracles

cases Of Consumrtion pronounced hopeless ana in

In the course or many ears over a very extended
practice, have frequently had opportunities OF vert

Patients have applied TO me for relief when phys-
cians and friends had abandoned al hope ana

tunAte lot to rescue many such from wha. appeared
to be inevitable death.
Patients have been brought TO me who were AZ
fcted with vo'ent racking coughs heavy and ex-
haJsng Dghtsweats, coils that Gre p over the body
and eneryated IT, and depressed the mental faculties
with frames that were emacated aud weakened
down almost to absolute pr istrati0n, with cheeks
on which the hectic fever was always visible; with
digestive organs impaired, % d unable to perform
their natural functions properly; with loss OF appe-
ii,e aud voice all untansly dicating The presence
or ueep-seated wasting disease. Persons thus
afflicted, and PRONOUNCED by their medical advisers
to be in the last hopeless stage or Consumption,

the convincing statements of prominent ladies' and
gentlemen who, when all other medicines uad failed

THE COURAGE

courage were rewarded by u
PERMANENT CURE.
Some OF these desperate cases. il is trre were not
cured, but they were those who applied for help
Of miracle could have wrested them from the grasp
OF death. Read the
UNANSWERABLE TESTIMONY
OF T. $. Sheldon, OF New York, page 80 of my new
pamphlets of Mrs. Launing OF Philadelphia, on
same page; and of Mrs. Charles Neil, OF New York,
on the Ccding page, a. well the many others

whether
CONSUMPTION CAN BE CURED,
or whether, many prominent medical men
have boldly declared it is incuIable?
