Is CONSUMPTION CURABLE E?-Consump-
ton, like the old tabled monster, is drag
ging away daily our fairest and dearest.
No wonder that thousands are continually
asking Who shah rescue us-us and ours
from this terrible destroyer? Let us
consider for moment what consumption
is. Pulmonary consumption is the forma-
ton of tuberculous matter in any portion
of the body, is a sure token of low state
of vitality generally-in other words, OF
insufficient nourishment This is the key
to the whole matter. Anything that tends
to bring down the pourishment of the sys-
TEN, tends also to produce consumption
anything that tends to bring up the nour-
ishment of the system, tends also to cure
consumption. Now food is, indeed, the
only nourisher, but DR. Gottlieb Fisch' S
Bitters, by stimulating at once both appe-
tite and digestion, enables one to take suf-
ficient food, and also to derive from it due
nutriment; and thus, indirectly, wards off,
or even cures, PULMONARY CONSUMPTION

teachings of a past generation. aud to stub
bornly rerist the light Of reform and pro

growth are jealously watched over by the
Poison Bitters compounders. One great
prevailing deception of the present age; is
the impression that every human biped Of
either sex must be stimulated, and the pois
oned chalice is labeled 'Medicated Bitters,
the better to palliate their use and prolong
the epidemic. One of the most jealous
workers to cure this malady, Dr.. JOSEPH

lieves in making Bitters that are true
medicine, and advises the sick man to
swallow a draught that will wash out the
Leprosy of his disease. In this faith he is
steadfast, and his VINEGAR BITTERs,
though contradiction TO the general char
acter of all other Bitters, are, as great
