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 a disease of the lungs produced by an acrid
and impure condition of the blood, which,
circulating through these mostdelicate organs,
poisons and ~irritates their tissues and invites
the scrofulous humor Of the blood, causing
the deposition of tubercles and establishing
local s~crofula. Another prolific exciting cause
of the development Of scrofulous disease Of
the lungs, or turbercular consumption, is
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 the blood to
deposit its burden Of Impurities in these
organs. Consumption itself is not 30 often
hereditary as is generally supposed. That a
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 tuber-
cles. But thousands Of persons who inherit
feeble vitality would never suffer from con-
sumption if the functions o. the system were.
kept correct and the blood pure. When the
liver becomes torpid. and but very imperfect
ly pours of the ~effete, poisonous materials Of
the blood, the lungs, as has before been
shown, become irritated. The general health
becomes broken down. and the person feels
languid, weak, faint. drowsy and confused.
Pain i'll the right side, in the region Of the
LIVER, AMI sympathetic pain in the shoulders
and spine, and through the lungs, is generally
complained of. The patient has a dry. hack
ing cough-that liver Cough. Small, minnie
tusercles are developed in the lungs, and per-
haps exist for months all unknown to their
victim. Nothing is done to remove the tuber-
cles by the ordinary treatment. Cough is only a
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 III the blood which cause the tuber-
cles must be thrown off by exciting the liver to
action. Vitality must be supported, the system
nourished and built up, and the develop
ment Of tubercles thus prevented. Remove
the blood poison by restoring the action of the
liver, and the cough. which il only a symptom
