DISEASES OF THE HEART AND LUNGS

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
down dead OF any moment, unaware of any
more than usual difficulty of breathing, Ut
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 a
one had only slight 1uttering 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 judicious treatment to aid pature to
throw off disea ses from the Lungs. To easily
cure the above diseases, first requires i'm
mediate attention to every symptom that MAJ
presentitse at the different stages OF the
disease; and the treatment should be in ac-
ordnance 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 W no in reality know
but little of the diseases, except q 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 al best; many of whom have
perhaps never disected the Heart or Lungs
after death. In order to be a successful
practitioner in the treatment Of Heart and
Lung diseases, requires constant, extensive
practice, to enable the person to make a cor
rect diagnosis of the disease. This done, be
must be we'll 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
raent Of diseases Of the Bea.t and Lungs.
How often do We see and hear of persons
almost gone with Consumpiion-in fact, Civ
en- up, by perhaps, a dozen doctors; who, ul
timately, by placing themselves under tn,
treatment of some eminent physician, be
come healthy and sound, or at all events, al
much so as the nature of their disease coul,
possibly admit Of. Instances of this kin,
are familiar to thousands. A consuniptiv
man of means who thinks more of his healt
| than he does of his money, seldom loses a.
opportunity of consulting a physician VIII
! has attained high reputation in the treat
| men. of that particular class of diseases i
which he is most interested. Hence it j
few of this class, comparatively speaking, di
for want judcious treatment; at least thei
life is prolonged in their cases for man
years. While on the other hand a man
| narrow contracted mind who is conceite
| withal, thinks that his family or home phy
siciau, of particular creed, is fully capabl
| to perform the desired results. Thus he pla
ces himself under the care Ofan experiment
er, losing time and health, until finally to
late for any human aid, continuing to sin
under the treatment of cod-liver oil an
stimulants, till at last he shuaes of this maj
tai coil And for whati Just for want
manly independence; free heart; FRI
purse; and . judicious course of treatmeI
from a physician of experience in treatin
many thousand similar cases to his own.
DR.. BORT would here remark that h
treatment in diseases of the Throat, Lung
| Heart, Catarrh, Deafness and Female Di
eases is entirely different from any other pc
son in this country.
