fails him; 1t Is when he has allowed 1t L"

citadel of life-the lungs. DIR. KEYSER's
Lung CURE will always cure cough, from
whatever cause, IN It's earlier stages; II has
cured long standing coughs and has elimi-
mated tubercular matter from the lungs and
left them well, with their full functions
restored. In the matter OF chronic diseases,
to which DR.. Keyser gives especial atten-
ton, none have received greater inveSti-
CATION than Pulmonary Consumption.
That it is cured by his plan of treatment,
numerous living witnesses bear willing
testimony in every street of our city. If
