northern parts of Australia, and it
was found that the bees entirely ne.

The mortuary statistics of the whole civilized

deaths due to consumption bears n greater
ratio to the whole number than that OF any
other three diseases together. Moreover, in
vestigation proves that this ratio is steadily in
creasing. Its increasing prevalence has led to
the popular belief that consumption is incur

phere-the only remedial agent that either
Florida or Colorado can afford the consumptive

sumption depends upon two essential conditions:
1st the arrest of the abnormal breaking down
Of the tissues, which prevents emanciation
and End the restoration of healthy nutrition in
order to stop the formation Of tuberculous mat
ter. Fulfill these conditions, and consumption
is as curable as fever. To fulfill these con-
ditions the required remedy must increase the
appetite favor the assimilation Of food, and
enrich the blood thus retarding the develop

while removing tia tubercles already formed,
they produce yet more serious results by infiam-
