attracts no attention, but it is only when the
disease increases in violence that Il begins to

is the only way to cure consumption.
To these medicines Dr.. Swayne OF Phila-

treatment Of pulmonary consumption. The
"Wild Cherry Syrup" ripens the morbid mat

easy expectora,ion, for when the phlegm or
matter is ripe slight cough will throw il oil,
and the patient has rest and the lungs begin to

to cleanse the stomach and liver, so that the
