Now there are many consumptives who have

has been, to stay in warm room during the
winter, with a temperature of about seventy de-
grees, which should be kept regularly at that
point. by means of n Thermometer. Let such a
patient take his exercise within the limits of the

strength will permit, in order to keep up a

so far as the Mandrake Pills are concerned
everybody should keep n supply of them on
