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, VI
fatigue. How often do we hear of some
friend O.. acquaintance dying while sitting at
his or her meal, or found dead in bed; and
still more frequently do we hear that such a
one had only slight futtering at the heart;
others drop dead while performing some light
labor, or with the least excitement; while the
invalid suffering from diseases of the Lungs,
is slowly but surely dying by inches, without
some judcious 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 &C.
cordance with each symptom. Thousands
suffer untold misery from resorting to un-
qualified pretenders of the age, who profess
the Heart and Lungs, but who in reality know
but 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 has
been but meagre at best; many of whom have
perhaps never disected the Heart or Lungs
after death. In order to be successful
Lung diseases, requires a constant, extensive
practice, to enable the person to mako 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 OF
lives are annually sacrificed by the employ
ment of unskilled physicians, in the treat
ment of diseases ofthe Heart and Lungs.
How often do we see and hear of persons
almost gone with Consumption-in fact, Civ.
en- up, bv perhaps, a dozen doctors: who ul.
timately, by placing themselves under the
treatment of some eminent physician, be-
come healthy and sound, or at all events, as
much so as the nature of their disease could
possibly admit of. Instances of this kind
are familiar to thousands. consunptivt

than he does of his money, seldom loses al
opportunity of consulting A physician WHIT

which he is most interested. Hence it i.

to perform the desired results Thus he pla

under the treatment of cod-liver oil an,

tai coil And for what? Just for want O

DR.. 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 pei
son in this country.
