BUFFALO, N. Y.
The great prevalence of this disease, and its
fatal results, are well calculated to enlist our,
best efforts for its cure. What is Consumption?
1t is disease of the lungs produced by an acrid
and impure condition Of the blood, which
circulating through these. most delicate organs,
poisons and irritates their tissues and invites
the scrofulous humors 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 turbercular consumption, Ii
Chronic Nasal Catarrh, which extending along
the mucous lining membrane Of the throat,
trachea and bronchial tubes, finally attacks the
substance Of the lungs, and here establishes
such an irritation as to invite tho plood 10
deposit its burden Of impurities in these
organs. Consumption itself is not 30 often
hereditary as is generally supposed. That
condition Of low vitality may be transmitted
from parents to children is unquestionably
true. 1t is this deficiency OF vitality which Is
inherited-a weakness which makes nutrition
imperfect, and leads to the deposit of tubercles.
But thousands Of persons who inherit feeble
vitality would never suffer from consumption
IL the functions of the system were kept correct
and the blood pure. When Sie liver becomes
torpid, and but very imperfectly pours on the
effete, poisonous materials Of the blood, the
lungs, as has before been shown, become
irritated. The general health becomes broken
down. and tho person feels languid, weak,
faint, drowsy and confused. Pain in the
right side, in the region Of the liver, and sym
pathetic pain in the shoulders and spine, and
through the lungs, is generally complained OF.
The patient has dry, hacking cough--tbat
liver Cough! Small minute tubercles are
developed in the lungs, and perhaps exist for
months all unknown to their victim. Nothing
ia done TO remove the tubercles by the ordinary
treatment. Cough is only 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 tuber-
cles must be thrown of by exciting the liver to
action. Vitality must be supported, tue sys-
tenn nourished and built up, and the develop
ment of tubercles thus prevented. Remove
tbe blood poison by restoring the action OF the
liver and the cough, which is only symptom
of the real disease, is relieved. You thereby
