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 a disease
of the lungs produced by an acrid and
| impure condition of the blood, which,
circulating through these most delicate
organs, poisons and initiates their It's.
sues and invites the scrofulous humor
OF the blood, causing the deposition of
tubercles and establishing local scrofula.
Another prolific exciting cause of the
development OF scroiulous disease of
| the lungs, or tuhercular consumption,
is Chronic Nasal Catarrh which, extend
ing along the mucous lining membrane
OF the throat, trachae 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 supposed.
That a condition of low vitality may be
transmitted from parents to children is
unquestionably true. 1t is this def.
cheney Of vitality which is inherited-a
weakness which makes nutriment i'm
perfect, and leads to the deposit of tn.
bercles. But thousands Of persons who
inherit feeble vitality would never suf
ter from consumption if the functions
of the system were kept correct and the
blood pure. When the liver becomes
torpid, and but very imperfectly pours
off the effete, poisonous materials of the
! blood, the lungs, as has before been
shown, become irritated. 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 sympa,
thetic pain in the shoulders and spine,
and through the lungs, is generally com
planned of. The patient soon has dry,
hacking cough-that liver cough Small
minute tubercles are developed in the
lungs. and perhaps exist for months all
unknown to their victim. Nothing is
done to remove tubercles by the Or
binary treatment. Cough is only a
symptom of the disease, yet this only is
aimed at in the usual treatment. 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 off
by exciting the liver to action. Vitality
must be supported the system nourish-
ed and built up, and the development
of tubercles thus prevented. Remove
the blood poison by restoring the action
of the liver, and the cough, which is
only symptom of the real disease. is

From the properties and remedial eff

early stages of the disease, | know from
