CONSUMPTION.



PENsARY, BUFFALO, N /
The great prevalence Of this disease, and its
fatal results, are well calculated to enlist our
best efforts for it's care. What is Consump-
ton It is a disease Of the lungs produced
by an acrid aud impure condition Of the blood,
which circulating through these most delicate
organs, poisons and irritates their tissues and
invites the scrofuIous humors OF the blood,
causing the deposition OF tubercles and estab-
fishing local serofula. Another prolific exeit-
ing cause Of the development of scrofulous
disease o. the lungs, or tubercuiar consamp-
ton, is Chronic EesaI CatarTh, which extend
ing along the mncus lining membrane Of the
throat, trachea and bronchial tubes finally
attacks the substance Of the lungs, and here
establishes sueh an irritation as to invite the
blood to deposit its burden Of impurities in
these organs. Consumption itself is not so
often hereditary as is generally supposed
That a condition Of low vitality may be trans
mitted from parents to children is unquestion-
ably true. It 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 if the functions of the system

the liver becomes torpid, and but very imper-
fectly pours on the effete, poisonous materials
of the blood, the lungs, as has before been
shown, becomes irritated. The general health
becomes broken down, and the person feels
languid, weak, faint, drowsy and confused.
Pain in the right side, in the region of the
liver, and sympathetic pain in the shoulders
and spine, and through the lungs, is gener-

hacking cough-that liver Coughl Small
minute tubercles are developed IN the lungs,
and perhaps exist Tor months all unknown to
their victim. Nothing is done 10 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 consump-
ton except to purify the blood. Those poi
sonous materials in the blood which cause the
tubercles must be thrown OF by exciting the
liver to action. Vitality must be supported
the system nourished and built up, and the de-
velopnent OF tubercles thus prevented. Re
move the blood poison by restoring the action
Of the liver, and the cough, which is only
symptom Of the real disease, is relieved You

From the properties and remedial effects Of
my Golden Medical Discovery, the reader viii
readily understand why it has been so sue
cessful in curing this fatal malady.

then disappoint the afflicted by asserting that
this can be accomplished when the lungs are
half consumed, as many do, who, being devoid
of all conscience, aim to hunbug the afflicted
that they may sell their often worse than

But If my Golden Medical Discovery is en-
ployed in the first early stages of the disease,
I know from ample observation and actual

not to apply to it a name which might misIead

most wonderful nutritive property which il
possesses, and which so peculiarly adapts it to
the wants OF the consumptive and the scrofu-
lous. The nutritiye properties possessed by
Cod Liver Oil are trifing when compared with
those possessed by my Discovery. It is aston

and increases the flesh and weight of those
whose systems are reduced below the usual
standard Of perfect health. The following
testimonial fully confirms all that I claim for
my Golden Medical Discovery in the cure of
