care of himself aad follow my directions.
1t may be asked ''How is it that you can know SO /
much about this disease, and pretend to cure It, when
so many educated physicians. who have made study
of 1t for years, pronounce it incurable?'
The question is fair one, and shall be fairly an
swered: do not claim to know more than other
physicians about the causes, nature and history of
Consumption. 1 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 tho final is obscure-in other words
while 1t is possible say tcty Consumption selects
this or that person victim-yet the predisposin0
are:
lst Inheritance Consumption IS hereditary in a
wonderful degree One parent very often entails 1t
upon the offspring and both still frequently,
that whole families often swept away and hand
the rredispositon down to their children.
Cd, Cold BY this do not mean those changes Of
weather which often produce Inflammation; but long
continued and steady cold so that condition of de-
blity is produced. Indeed whatever tends to pro-
duce long continued debility WILL In persons,
generate Pulmonary Consumption. Prominent among
these influences insufficient dict living in an un.
wholesome air, sedentary habits, grief, anxiety dis
appointment whether of the affections or in bust
ness, and all other depressing emotions; the abuse of
mercury and the influence of weakening diseases
also agree with the lest doctors as to the manner in
which the lungs become affected Pulmonary Con-
sumption is also called 1HberculoUs Consumption, by
which mean disease Of the lungs caused by
tuberccs. tubercle is 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 often deposited at once.
Each one 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 tubercle grew and ripcncd be-
comes a cavity, and where there arc great many
tuberccs, of they make great many of these
little cavities which gradually unite and leave great
holes in the lungs. Unless a stop be put this
process, it will go until the substance of the lungs
| is consumed and death cnsues
Of course l agree with the faculty upon the symp-
toms and course of the disease the short, dry hack
ing cough slight at FIRST but gradually increasing;
then shortness of BREATH quickening pulse then fe
vcrsh sensations, flushing of the checks and hca in
the palm of the hands and soles of the feet the slight
but growing cmaciation. with feeble appetite, hemor-

tongue, then loss of appetite, taken to the bed, then
cxpcctoration of softencd tubercc in the shape Of
small Jumps of ycllowish, chcesy, curdy matter;
hectic fever brill eye. chills night sweats, sharp

| akncss great that CAp5ctoration is impossible;
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 1t totally The
doctors believe Pulmonary Consumption cannot be
cured Therefore they do no. try to do anything more
than TO smooth the pati1n S path to thu grave, nj
seem quito reckless of the medicines they give, that
n patient is kept com Portable and easy even If his
life is shortened As tubercles begin to appear
in the lungs of patient, 1t Is common practice with

in increasing quantities. until the ravagCs of excessive
dram. drinking added to the ravagc3 of the dis
ease; and have yet hear of a single of Con
| sumption which was cured by Stimulants l say
the of Cod Liver on. Many physicians send
their patients away from home distant voyages to
| Minnesota or Florida-anythng or anywhere so that
they may die easy For they do not pretend to cure
and they have no remedies which will do so. Now
say only that diseases of the lungs can be cured
but that my medicines do cure them. The proof

Whatever may be the cause, the origin of Pulmonary
