CONSUMPTION.

The great prevalence of this disease,
and its fatal results, are well calculated
to enlist our best efforts for its cure.
What is consumption? 1t IS disease
of the lungs produced by IN acrid and
impure CO 1dition of the blood, which,
circulating through these mosC delicate
orge , s poisons and irritates their tissues
and :.!vites the scrofnlous humors Of the
blood, causing the deposition of tuber-
cles and establishing local scrofala.
Another prolific exciting cause of the
development of scrofulous disease of the
lungs, or tubercular consumption, is
Chronic Nasal Catarrh, which, extend
ing along the trachea and bronchial
tubes, finally attacks the substance of
the lungs, and here establishes such an
Irritation as to invite the blood to de-
post its burden of impurities in these
organs. Consumption itself is not SO
often hereditary as is generally sup
posed. That condition of low vitali-
ty may be transmitted from parents to
children is unquestionably true. 1t Is
this deficiency of vitality which is in
herited-a weakness WHICH makes nu-
triton imperfect, and leads to the de-
post of tubercles. But thousands of
persons who inherit feeble vitality
would never suffer from consumption
If the functions of the system were kept
correct and the blood pure. When the
liver becomes torpid, and but very inn
perfectly pours off the effete, poisonous
materials of the blood, the lungs, as has
before been shown, become irrtiated.
The general health becomes broken
down, and the person feels languid,
weak, faint, drowsy and confused.
Pain in the right side, in the region of
the liver, and sympathetic pain in the
shoulders and spine, and through the
lungs, is generally complained Of The
patient soon has dry, hacking cough
that liver coughl Small minute tu-
bercles are developed in the lungs, and
perhaps exist for months all unknown
TO their victim. Nothing is done to re-
move tubercles by the ordinaro treat
ment. There is no rational way to cure
consumption except to purify the blood.
Those poisonous materials in the blood
which cause the tubercles must be
thrown OF by exciting the liver to ac-
ton. Vitality must be supported, the
system nourished and built up, and the
development of the tubercles thus pre-
vented. Remove the blood poison by
"rsturin9 the action Of the liver, aud the
cough, which is only q symptom OF the
real disease, Is relieved. You thereby
strike at the root of ihcipient consump-
ton and cure the patient.
From the properties and remedial
effects of my Golden Medical Discovery,
which l have in the p eceding pages
fully explained, the reader will readily
understand why it has been so success
full in curing this fatal malady.
With ii have arrested TIA hacking
aud harassing cough, the ni"ht sweats
aid hectic fever of the consumptive in
valid; snatched from the jaws of death
and restored to health and happiness
many who, but for my Discovery, must
soon have fallen victims TO that relent-
less foe. God, j believe, has instilled
into the roots and plants from which
this wonderful medicine is extracted,
the healing properties, by the use of
which. Consumption, the scourge Of the
human family, may in its early stages,
be promptly arrested and permanently |
cured. j do not wish to delude5 fiatter, |
and then disappoint the afflicted by as
sorting that this can be accomplished |
when the lungs are half Consumed, as
many do who, being devoid Of all con-
science, ain to humbug the afflicted, thst |
they may sell their often worse than /
worsel ,ss compound.
But if my Alt. Ext, or Golden Ned
zeal Discovery, is employed in the first
or early stages of the disease, / know
from ample observationsand actual test
in hundreds of cases, that it will posi-
lively arrest the disease and restore
health and strength. From its wonder
full power over this terrible disease i
had thought strongly of calling it my
