OF all diseases that flesh is heir to, none
are so certain to produce death as those of
the Heart and Lungs. Persons suffering |
from diseases of the Heart are liable to drop |
more than usual difficulty of breathing, Ur
fatigue. How often do we hear of some
friend or acquaintance dying while sitting at
his or her meal, or found dead in bed; and
still more frequently do we hear that such
one had only slight futtering at the heart;
others drop dead while performing some light
labor, or with the least excitement; while the
is slowly but surely dying by inches, without
some judicious treatment to aid pature to
throw off diseases from the Lungs. To easily
cure the above diseases, first requires i'm
mediate attention to every symptom that may
present itself, at the different stages OF the
disease; and the treatment should be in ac-
col dance with each symptom. Thousands
suffer untold misery from resorting to un-
qualified pretenders of the age, who profess
to understand the treatment of diseases of
the Heart and Lungs, but who in reality know
bat little of the diseases, except . slight
knowledge that they have acquired BY read.
ing the suggestions OF some conceited author,
whose experience in too many instances ha 8
been but meagre at best; many of whom have
perhaps never disected the Heart or Lungs
after death. In order to be a successful
Lung diseases, requires a constant, extensive
practice, to ensble the person to make cor
rect diagnosis of the disease. This done, he
must be well posted in its treatment, since
. this can only be accomplished by treating
many thousand similar cases. Thousands oil
lives are annually sacrificed by the employ
ment of unskilled physicians, in the treat
ment of diseases Of the Heart and Lungs.
How often do we see and hear of persons
almost gone with Consumption fact, Civ.
en- up, by perhaps, dozen doctors; who, nj.
timately, by placing themselves under thu
treatment of some eminent physician, be.
come healthy and sound, or at all events, a.
much so as the nature of their disease could
: possibly admit of. Instances of this kline
J are familiar to thousands. A consuniptiv,
man of means who thinks more of his healtl
than be does of his money, seldom loses a,
opportunity of consulting a physician VIII,

! life is prolonged in their cases for man,
! years. While on the other hand man o

under the treatment Of cod-liver oil an
stimulants, till at last he shufes of this mar

manly independence; free heart; fire

from physician of experience in treatin
many thousand similar cases to his own.
DIR. BORT would here remark that hi
treatment in diseases of the Throat, Lungs
Heart, Catarrh, Deafness and Female Dis
eases is entirely different from any other per
con in this country.
