cines was first attacked with the disease in Oc-
tober 1890 and although | was from that time
continually under the care of a physician. grew
worse and worse until at last was confined TO my
bed. can hardly that was FIRST attacked with
the disease in 1885, for my lungs had been weak
for many years previous to this. and would quite
often have severe pain in my breast If took the
least cold or exertcd myself too much in any way.
grew worse, my cough became very bad had
night sweats severe that my bed through the
night would be as wet as though water had been
thrown over me. ] WAS Continually raising blood
and large quantities of offensive matter from my
lungs. and at last had all the well-known symptoms
OF Consumption n its last stages.
A, the request of my family, my physician called
in other doctors Of this city, and they after an
examination agreed that my case was hopeless.
They informed my wife that had better be told
shor, for arranging worldly AFFAIRS They also SAID
that no medicine would b Of any use to me. The
next day my friend, MIR. H. !. Leith. hearing of my
condition, sent me a bottle OF your Pulmone Syrup,
thinking it might relieve my cough, and make my
expectoration easier. began using it, never even
hoping that 1t would cure me- but finding great re-

used seven eight bottles. All this time was in
bed and was weak that had to be lifted. This
was not difficult thing to do however as l only
weighed about 90 pounds. As have said, | Com

its curing me, but after taking the eight bottles
would sometimes feel a little hungry, thing had
not before done for many months. ! omitted to
mention that after taking four five bottles of the
Pulmonic Syrup, l also began taking the Seaweed
Tonic, and also took some of the Mandrake Pills.
Ii IS needless for me TO give you An account of ali

strength. the character of what raised from my
lungs was changed, not being SO offensive, and at
last was able to get up and walk about my room.

entirely well, wonder to all my acquaintance who
saw me when was SO low.
Iweigh res pounds, appetite good, and ! can

slder your medicines wonderful in their effects.
They have saved my life and feel so thankful to
you that l am anxious that all who arc suffering
with lung troubles should know how good they are
