NECESSARY IN the case II Is not mere pallia-
tive OF Consumption, but In many cases a
great curative remedy. Knowing this fact
as we do, II would be criminal not TO urge
disease and are fast crowding the gates OF
death. What can be more reatonable or
more necessary than 10 apply the remedy
10 the tut ercle and cavity IN the diseased
lung? DO we not apply oiniments, lotions,
poultices, compressss, and, many other
sgents to an iniiamed eye, ear, throat and
akin? Why not 90 treat the irritable and
infiamed mucous membranes which line
the bronchial tubes and air cells In the
lungs? Thousands die with Consumption,

because the lungs cannot be inflated below
the mucous plugs which obstruct the
bronchial tubes and cells, so ~ TO force out
the offending matter which In slowly but
surely sapping the very fountains Of life. A
well, chosen medicated vapor In all such
cases would save the patient by dissolving

While the local treatment ~ going on,
Constitutional Remedies should always be
employed, by which the strength OF the pa

trolled and the general health inSigorated.
