Cd Cold. By this we do not mean those
changes OF weather which often produce in
fismmation; but long.continued and steady
cold, so that condition OF debility is pro-
duced. Indeed, whatever tends to produce
long.continued debility will in some per-
sons generate pulmonary consumption.
Prominent among these influences are in
sufficient diet, living in an unwholesome
air, scdantary habits, gaief, anxiety, disap-
pontment, whether of the affections or in
business, and all other depressing emo
fiuence of weakening diseases, also agree
with the best doctors as to the manner in
which the lungs become affected. Pull.
monary consumption is also called Tuber-
culous consumption, by which we mean a
disease oil the lunss, caused by tubercles.
A tubercle is small, roundish body,
which is deposited in the substance of the
and first act of the disease. Many of
these are often deposited at once:
Each one undergoes seversl
changes. After producing in

into the bronchial tubes and passes out at
the mouth by splitting. The place where
the tubercle grew and ripened now be-
comes cavity and where there are great

great many of these little cavities. which
gradually unite and leave great holes in the
lungs. Unless stop can be put to this
process, it will 60 on until the substance OF
the lungs ia consumed and death ensues.

Now, as have said, I mainly agree with
the medical faculty on these points. Bat
when we come to the treatment of the dis
ease differ from it totally. The doctors
believe pulmonary consumption cannot be
cured. Therefore they do not try to do
anything more than to smooth the pa
TENTS path to the grave, and seem
unite reckless of the medicines they
give, SO that the patient is kept

do so. Now say not only that diseases oil
the lungs can be cured, but that my medi-
cines do cure them. The proof Is, that by
their use thousands of consumptives have
been and are now eing cured by them.
The whole science OF medicine is based
on experiments. We cannot by any pro-
cess Of reasoning decide that any parGcu'

lar disease. How was it found that Qui.
