been apprehended, for all the symptoms quickly
disappeared, and his present weight is more than
two hundred pounds.
Since his recovery, he has devoted his attention
exclusively to the cure of Consumption and the
diseases which are usually complicated with it;
and the cures effected by his medicines have been
very NUMEROUS and truly wonderful. DR.. Schcnck
