Relief from Consumption.

Relief from Consumption. NEW REMEDY SUGGESTED BY A MI S-
 EEsoTA PHYSICIAN.
 In a letter from Minneapolis, Minn., to the Chicago Tribune. In which he declnr os that no cough mixture can reach the lungs. Dr. R. D'Unger says:
 1 need not describe the symptoms iof consumption, as they are so we'll knos, and SO frequently beheld that even Il ,e most unintelligent can diagnose the di s- eas" from the hectic spots in the cheek s. the terrible exhausting cough. the pur u- lent approximation and wasting body nor will here put down the thousar d and one opinions already printed as to ts cuusation. 1t will be enough to say that. when it is once seated, strenuous efforts tu check its progress must be made. Ma tnre herself always tries to do this. And. with slight aid. she usually succeeds. Be hopeful then, ye afflicted ones.
 Let LIS compare life to a burning lamp. Ii We supply oil as rapidly as th. lam. hb, and tie lamp throws out it's given light but if We fail to supply the oil needed to produce tn. flame. It is foregona con clusion: the wick becomes consamesi the light grows dim, fiekels, and finally goes out altogether. In other words, the light dies because there is too much oxyE"n and not enough car'on. So it is with 8 consumptive's life. The disease he sui fers with is a wasting one, an internal fs- yer which consumes the carbon in his blood more rapidly than the food he eats call supply it. If carbon was furnished as fast as the disease exhausted 1t the body would not waste; if it w;.s put into the blood in excess of what the disease required. there would be all increase in the strength and bulk of the bUsiy instead of decrease. Like the lamp, the supply of oil in the body must be equivalent to the demand or ip excess of 1t. If this be not so the life, ike the wick, will be con- sumed.
 Some months ago the little daughter Jagged 14) of q truukniaker In this city, one Ar. Garden-I am permitted t, use his nnme-was pronounced a hopeless con- sumptive; and to have seen her at that time one would have supposed there was good ground for the decision. as shs was a mere skeleton, had a terrible cough, exprctoratsd over half plat & day of greenish, blood-streaked, tuberculous matter, and was so exceedingly nervous that sAe could scarcely sleep at all. night or day. She had been doctored lorg while with cough and consumption speci- fics, and one or two physicians had tried their skill oI her, but without avail, her life gradually drawing to its close. Meet ing her father-who was almost heartbro- ken st the thought of soon losing her one day, I gave him this prescription:
 Onr-half pound finely cut up baefsteak | NAto puIverrzea cnarcoaa. Four ounces pulvrrized sugar. | Four ounces rye whiskey.
 One pint boiling water.
 Mix all together, let it sta nd in a cool place over night, and give from one 10 two teaspoonfuls liquid and meat befor. each meal.
 This WAS tried, and in four or five weeks this little girl was SO rosy and healthy, free from all cough and other symptoms of disease, that 1t was cs,nsid- cred almost miracle in the ueig hbor- hood in which she lived.
 What caused this great change? Sim ply the supply ing of her system with moro carbon than tho disease could ex. hsust. thereby giving nature the upper hand in the cohflict.
 have used this preparation very ire queatly, and have never fouRd 1t act oth- erwise than beneficial. TheS dose should be small at first, until the stomncIh be- comes used to 1t, and then gradually in- creased.
 Let ail consumptives try 1t who read this, weighing themselves before they commence. and again after they have ta- ken 1t for week or ten days. To their astonishment they will discover that, in stead of their bodies wasting away. they will gain in strength and flesh. And let tn. n be kind enough to report the r.sult to the Chicago Tribune for the b4ns fit of that timid class of lung-sick people who are afraid 10 try any remedy unless they pay one dollar a bottle for 1t. or double that sum for prescription.
