As the proprietor of these medicines I conscIen-
tiousy offer them to the public as safe reliable and
certain remedies for the Cure of Consumption. and
with equal confidence almost O specific for those
morbid conditions Of the body which. If neglected

sumption.
do not claim that the disease be cured after the
lungs are destroyed. for medicine create new
ones; but 1 maintain that the first stages of Con-
sumption durable when the lungs partially
decayed. When one lung Is sound l am almost GER
tain of making cure, If the patient will take proper
care of himself and follow my directions.
1t may be asked 'How is II that you can know so
much about this disease and pretend to it, when
many educated physicians. who have made a study
of It for years. pronounce itincuSabe?'
The question is fair one, and shall be fairly An
swered: I do not claim to know more than other
physicians about the causes, nature and history OF
Consumption. I suppose that my views on these
points would be found to agree with those of most
educated and intelligent physicians We should agree
that while the final cause is obscurein other words,
while is possible say toAy Consumption selects
this that person a victim-yet the predisposn1
causes arc:
1st, Inheritance. Consumption is hereditary in q
wonderful degree. One parent very often entails It
upon the offspring. and both still more frequently. so
that whole families often swept away, and hand
the predisposition down TO their children.
Cd, Cold. By this we do not mean those changes Of
weather which often produce Inflammation; but long
continued and steady cold so that condition of de-
billty is produced. Indeed whatever tends TO pro-
generate Pulmonary Consumption. Prominent among
these influences are insufficient diet living IN
wholesome air sedentary habits. grief, anxiety, dis
appointment. whether Of the affections or in bust
and all other depressing emotions; the abuse Of
mercury and the influence of weakening diseases.
also agree with the best doctors to the manner In
which the lungs become affected. Pulmonary Con-
sumption is also called TuberculoUs Consumption by
which we mean a disease Of the lungs caused by
tubercles. A tubercle is q small. roundish body
which deposited in the substance Of the lungs by the
blood This is the beginning and first act of the dis
ease. Many of these are often deposited at once.
Each undergoes several changes After producing
Inflammation of the parts Of the lung next to IT, It
ends in liberation opens passage into the bronchial
tubes and passes out at the mouth by splitting The
place where the tubercie grew and ripened now be-
comes a cavity, and where there are q great many
tuberces. of they make great many of these
little cavities which gradually unite and leave great
holes in the lungs. Unless stop be put to this
process IT will 60 until the substance Of the lungs
IL consumed and death ensues.
OF course / agree with the faculty upon the symp.
toms and of the disease; the shor, dry hack

Iwollen extremities, hollow cheeks sunken eyes,

then death, bringing welcome relief from the tortures

Now as have said mainly agree with the medical
faculty these points. But when we come to the |
treatment Of the disease differ from it totally. The
doctors believe Pulmonary Consumpu5 n cdsn0t be |
