WHY WILL YE DIE, On YE OF LIT
TIE FAITH ?"-The following well-written
article is from the Davenport Democrat Of
December 10, 1872, and is powerful re
minder to the afflicted:
The most insidious, deadly and distress
ing malady attacking the human frame, is
pale consumption, stealing into the maid
ems bosom, flushing her cheek, blanching
her skin, and feeding like living worm Of
death upon her vitals A lover may
fondly gaze into her eyes, the brilliant
sparkling is but a forerunner of dissolu-
ton A mother may listen to her mid
night breathing, it is but muffied drum
beating her death-knell A father may
fondly try to save her, but too frequently
his efforts are in vain, her bridal bed is the
burial case; her bridegroom, death, the
silent consumer of her lungs is at work
and physicians have no remedy, the phar
macopeia no drug which can keep her from
: her destiny. Sad as this view is, there is
happily, bright side Providence has
garnered up in the storehouses Of vegeta
q ton, a sovereign balm in the juices O
\ plants to arrest the fell destroyer, to hea
r the eating ulcer, to renovate the failing
: lung, to bring health, strength and vigol
4 to the wasted frame The keen eye o
. science has searched for it, the chemist
skill has seized upon it, the retort ant
alembic have extracted it, and the remed,
/, is produced which will stay the progress 0
= the stealthy death fiend The result o
this careful study of nature is Allen
Lung Balsam, this is the consumptive
hope, the declining patients cure. Thou
sands have entered upon trial of it witt
distrust and fear, who now live to recort
I its snatching them from an early grave, ant
who are ready to testify to its merits LIE
:. the eonsumptive take it and be benefited

would vary from FIVE to thirty thousand on each
