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 a disease
of the lungs, produced by an acid and
impure condition of the blood, which,
circulating through these most delicate
organs, poisons and irritates their tissues
and invites scrofulous humors of the
blood, causing the deposition OF tuber-
clcs and establishing local scrofula. An
other prolific exciting cause Of the de-
velopment of scrofulous disease of the
lungs, or tubucular consumption, is
Chronic Nasal Catairh, which, extending
along the mucous lining membrane of
the throat, tiachea and bronchial tubes,
finally attacks the substance of the
lungs, and here establishes such an irli-
tation as to invite the blood to deposit
its burden of impurities in these organs.
Consumption itself is not so often heIed-
italy as is generally supposed. That a
condition OF low vitality may be trans
mitted from parents to their children is
unquestionably true. 1t is this deficien-
cy of vitality which is inherited-a
weakness which makes nutrition imper-
feet, and leads to the deposit of tuber-
cles. But thousand of persons who in
/ herit feeble vitality would never suffer
from consumption if the functions of
the system We're kept correct and the
blood pure When the liver becomes
torpid, and but very imperfectly pours
OF the etfete, poisonous materials of the
blood, the lungs rs has before been
shown, become irritated. The general
health becomes broken down, and the
person feels langllid, 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 COM
planned Of. The patient soon has dry
hacking cough-that liver cough
Small minute ,ubercles are developed
in the lungs, and perhaps exist for
months all unknown to their victim.
Nothing is done TO remove tubercles by
the ordinary 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 consumptio
except to purify the blood Those poi
sonous materials in the blood which
cause the tubercles must be thrown off
by exciting the liver to action. Vitality
must be supported, the system nourished
and built up, AM 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 reliev-
ed. You thereby strike at the root Of IN

and restored to health and happiness
many who, but for my Discovery, must
soon have fallen victims to that relent-

into the roots and plants from which this
medicine is extracted the
healing properties, by the use of which,
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 and 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 Ait. Ext, or Golden Wedical

early stages of the disease, / know from
ample observation and actual test in
of cases, that it will positively
arrest the disease and restore health and
