Consumption.

Consumption.
The great prevalence of this disease,
and its fatal results, are we'll calculated
to enlist our best efforts for its cure.
What is consumption 1t is disease
of the lungs produced by an acrid and
impure condition of the blood, which,
circulating through these most delicate
organs, poisons and irritates their tissues,
and invites the scrofulous humors OF the
blood, causing the deposition OF tuber-
cles and establishing local scrofula.
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 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 sup
posed. That condition of low vitality
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 cor
rect and the blood pure. When the
liver becomes torpid, and but very i'm
az ha 70
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 sympathetic pain in the
shoulders and spine, and through the
lungs, is generally complained of. The
patient soon has dry, hacking cough
that liver cough Small minute tuber-
cles are developed in the lungs, and
perhaps exist for months all unknown
to t. cir victim. Nothing is done to re-
move tubercles by the ordinary treat
ment Cough is only symptom of the
disease, yet this only is aimed at in the
usual treatment. There is no rational
way to cure consumption except to puri-
fly the blood. These poisonous mate
rails in the blood which cause the tu-
bercles must be thrown off by exciting
the liver to action. Vitality must be
supported, the system nourished and
built up, and the development of tu-
bercles thus prevented. Remove the
blood poison by restoring the action of
the liver, and the cough, which is only
a symptom of the real disease, is relieved.
You thereby strike at the root Of incipient
consumption and cure the patient.
From the properties and remedial eff
fects of my Golden Medical Discovery,
which l have in the preceding pages
fully explained, the reader will readily
understand whyit has been so successful
in curing this fatal malady.
With it | have arrested the hacking
and harrassing cough, the night sweats
and 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, | 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. do not wish to delude fatter,
and then disappoint the afflicted by
asserting that this can be accomplished
when the lungs are half consumed, as
many do who, being devoid of all con.
science, aim to humbug the afflicted,
that they may sell their often worse
than worthless compounds.
But if my Alt. Ext, or Golden Medical
Discovery, is employed in the first or
early stages of the disease, know from
ample observation and actual test in
hundreds of cases, that it will positively
arrest the disease and restore health
and strength. From its wonderful
power over this terrible disease, had
thought strongly of calling it my Con-
sumptive Cure; but from the fact that
it is a perfect specific for the sore throat
and hoarseneSs to which ministers and
other public speakers and singers are
subjected, and also for Bronchitis, and all
Severe Coughs, and is an invaluable rene.
dy for diseases of the Liver, and also as
Blood Purifier, decided not to apply
to it name which might mislead and
prevent its use in other diseases for
which it is SO admirably adapted.
