CONSUMPTION.
Can Consumption be Cured:
In many cases it can. lst. By absorbing
the tubercles. I'd. By re-establishing the
assim!Iativ function, building up the gen.
eral health, arresting the tuberculous depo-
sit, reducing tubercles already formed TO an
indolent state and, by strict observance OF
the laws OF health, kee ping them In this
condition through life. Sd. By healing the
cavities after the tubercles have softened,
broken down and been expelled by expec.
toratIon. 4th. By changing the tubercle TO
calcareous matter.
The Treatment Must Be Both local
and General.
The local treatment consists In the IsHA-

diseased parts and must commend Itself to
the Judgment Of every one as Just uhdt Is
necessary in the case 1t is not mere pallia-
tive Of Consumption, but in many cases
great curative remedy. Knowing this fact
as we do, II would be criminal not TO urge
1t upon those who suffer with this terrible
disease and are last crowding the gates OF
death. What can be more reasonable or
more necessary than to apply the remedy
to the tulercle and cavity in the diseased

poultices, congresses, and many other
| agents TO an intiamed eye, ear, throat and
skin? Why not so treat the irritable and
| infiamed mucous membranes which line
| the bronchial tubes and air cells in the
lungs? Thousands die with Consumption,
not Tor want OF muscular strength to expel
| the matter which Is strangling them, but
because the lungs cannot be inflated below
/ the mucous plugs which obstruct the
| bronchial tubes and cells, SO as TO force out
the offending matter which is slowly but
surely sapping the very fountains OF LIE. A
well chosen medicated vapor in all such
cases would save the patient by dissolvtng
the mucous and stimulating the expiring
membranes to lis expulsion. What can be
more absolutely necessary than that a sooth-

anti hamorrhagic vapor, as the case may

lungs, resulting from the tuberculous dis
| ease are produced by causes which medicat-
| ed inhalation at the proper time would al
most infallibly remove. How strange that
| q treatment at once so simple, natural and
efficacious should be so neglected!
While the local treatment is going on,
| Constitutional Remedies should always be
employed, by which the strength OF the pa
| tient IL renewed, the night sweats broken
up, the diarrhoea checked, the fever con-
trolled and the general health invigorated.
