CONSUMPTION.

- Consumption. ,Te.F
h., Ihe great prevalence OF this disease,
and its fatalresults, are well calculated
to enlist our best efforts for its cure.
w hat Is consumption? 1t is a disease of
the lungs produced by an acrid and i'm
pure condition of the blood, which,
circulating through these most delicate
organs, poisons and initiates their It's
sues and INVITES the scrofulous humors
t of. the blood, causing the deposition of
tubercles 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, traehae 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
transferred from parents to children Is
unquestionably true. 1t is this deficiency
OF vitality which is inherited-a weak
! ness which makes nutrition imperfect,
and leads to the deposit of tubercles.
But thousands Of persons who inherit
feeble vitality would never suffer 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
ettete, poisonous materials of the blood,
| the lungs, as has before been shown. be-
| come irritated. The general health be-
comes 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 shoulder and spine, and
through the lungs, is generally COM
| planned of. The patient soon has dry,
hacking cough-thatli 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
relieved. You thereby strike at the root
Of incipiemt consumption. and cure the patient.
From the properties and remedial eff
fects of my Golden Medical Discovery,
which / have in the preceding pages
fully explained, the reader will readily
understand why it has been so success
full 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
relentless foe. God, believe, has in
stilled into the roots and plants from
which this wonderful medicine is ex-
tracted, the healing properties, by the
use of which consumption, the scourge
ofthe human family, may in its early
stages, be promptly arrested and perma-
nently cured. do not wish to delude,
fatter, and then disappoint the afflicted,
by asserting that this can be accom-
plished when the lungs are half con.
sumed, as many do who, being devoid
of all conscience, aim to humbug the
afflicted, that they may sell their often
worse than worthless compounds. rrsr
81, 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 to 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.
