SUMPTION.

This Is the most dangerous form of con-
sumption. The causes which produce 1t
are very numerous, such as hereditary dis
position, particular formation OF the body
certain diseases. as catarrh, smallpox,
measles. liver com plant, dyspepsia, etc.,
particular employments, grief or disap-
pontmsnt, and in short, any cause which
dsturbs the healthful operations OF nature
produces the diminution OF vital tone,
which always precedes an attack of this
disease.
Pulmonary consumption commences with
feeling OF lassitude, slight aching pains,
with q sense OF tightpess in some parts OF
the chest, and short, dry cough, which isa
readily excited by muscular emotion. They
breathing is shorter and moreelre0uent&
These symptoms gradually bed zaQrsj
conspicuous, and at length sligfy bc-
cnrs toward evening, and the re8pfi xtion
and pulse continue to be somewhat acceler-
coughing usually occurs in the morning,
the patient rises out Of bed In . relaxed
and feeble condition.
There 10 an extreme liability to take cold
on the slightest exposure. BY degrees the
cough becomes more frequent and trouble
some, particularly in the evening and
morning. or at night on awakening from
sleep. As the disease advances, the skin,
lips, tongue and fauces become dry Ia the
afternoon, slight chills regularly occur to-
ward evening, followed By fever: during
which one or both cheeks become suftused
with circumscribed flush; dry, burning
hat is felt in the palms OF the hands and
dees of the feet, the breathing is very quick
nj short, and the pulse very frequ Q mt,
mall, quick and tense. These feeble par
xysms continue till toward midnight,
when they terminate in more or less pro-
fuse perspiration which continues until
morning, leaving the sufferer exhausted
langnid and depressed. Frequently, pre-
vious to the occurrence OF this train OF
symptoms, the expecteration becNEeel
thicker and not unirequentIy mixed /J3
blood. The feeling of load in the n
and emaciation, increase, attended wi ~
creasing failure of strength. 3<6

It is generally admitted by medical MEN
OF every SCHOOL that this form of consump-
ton canine be cured by any application Of
their art. However. tome of the most lib
eral and enlightened physicians in Europe
and America have thought otherwise, and
as testimony of experience is more reli-
alb Q than any hypothecated authority, l
am enabled 70 declare and 10 prove that
pulmonary consumption can be cured, and
that It has been cured in very many In.
stances; and that even when 1t has advanced
to some of its last stages. One of the first
indications OF cure is to strengthen the sys-
tenn, and this may be done By the means
pointed out above. For that debility which
marks the commencement Of the disease
my Sea Weed Tonic and Pulmonic Syrup,
with highly nutritious diet, are the best
remedies. When the system is strengthened
and the digestive organs are restored to
their healthtul tone, the most alarming
symptoms will disappear. These medicines
arrest the progress Of the disease almost inn
mediately when the circumstances are IA
vorablc, and sometimes when the case, by
neglect or delay, has become almost hope
less. in the estimation Of physicians gener-
ally. The Syrup promotes expectoration,
and enables the system TO throw of the dis
ease. No one denies that when the patient
cannot discharge the morbid matter by -
pectoration death speedily ensuss
keeping the phiegm loose, the pstiez1
sbled TO raise IL easily, and 4
matter which obstructs the lung
the liberation is healed. sr
