in the lungs goes on until the unmistn kable
symptoms Of consumption begin to appear.
IL may be seen, therefore that the prepra-
ton OF opium, etc. which are prescribed in
bad colds and incipient consumptions,
merely conceal the disease by suppress
ing some OF the symptoms; but on that
very account ther 40 harm by making the
malady more insiduous, and therefore more

Let it be remembered that wheA the
stomach and liver are in good order there is
little liability TO take cold, and ii one is
taken. it generally passes off without pro.
ducing any effects. On the contrary
when persons are laboring under indigestion
or any d sorder of the liver the least expos
ure may induce all the symptoms we have
described above. The cold taken will re-
tain firm hold on the system, and ii not
properly treated, will most likely to end IN
consumption. Ny Sea Weed Tonic and
Mandrake Pills are used as safeguards
against colds; the first in cases of dyspep-
STA, and all diseases of the digestive organs;
the latter in all affections Of the liver, for
which they are proved to be an iDfallible
remedy. Very often dose or two OF the
Mandrake Pills perfectly cures a recent cold
without any other remedy.
1. BRONCHIAL CONSUME
ZION.
This disease is generally the result Of
neglected cold or catarrh. As l remarked
(under the heads of Coughs ard colds y
while the stomach and liver are in healthy
condition there is but little liability to take
cold; and ii no cold is taken there can be
no acute bronchitis, and of course, none of
its successor - bronchial consumption.
Therefore, as preventive, the Sea Weed
Tonic and Mandrake PiIlsmsy be nsed with
entire confidence whel symptoms OF indi-
No one who judiCiously uses these two
medicines, or either OF them, as circum-
stances may require, need apprehend an at
tack of bronchial consumption, but II the
use of these preveEiives has been neglected
and this form OF consumption has COM
menced, it will be necessary to use the Pull
monte Syrup In addition to the other reme-
dies.
The commencement of bronchial con-
sumption is indicated by an obstinate and
troublesome cough, attended with copi-
Gus expectoration of viscid and purulent,
or whitish frothy matter. At first the
symptoms resemble those of an ordinary
cold or catarrh, the expectoration being
tough. thick and Opaque, but not yellow,
containing small, grayish lumps, which
sink in water. As the disease advances
the cough increases and this tough mucus
or phlegm becomes more and more mixed
with yellowish fluid, resembling pus or
matter, and often slightly streaked with
blood. At first the pulse becomes slightly.
accelerated and tense toward evening; and
the heat of the surface of the body varies
in the course of the DAY. being sometimes
above and sometimes below the natural
standard. Partial sweats occur in the
bead and breast at night. Tue thirst Is
generally considerably increased; the urine
Is highly colored, and deposits copious,
reddish sediment A sense of soreness in
the chest, with an occasional transient
stitch In the side, occurs in the majority OF
instances, but there is very rarely any nxeo
pain in the chest. The cough is usually Sc
we're, particularly on rising out OF BED In
the merning, at which time the breathing
is more or less wneezing and attended with
a feeling of tightDess in the breast.
IL the disease continues unchecked IN It's
course, the expectoration becomes purul-
ent and extremely coplous. Debility and
EN- aciation increases rapidly; the difficulty
in breathing and sense Of weight and tight
ness across the chest becomes more aud
more distressing. The pulse is now general
ly very frequent, being seldom under l20 per
face is usually pale but q deep flush on
one or both cheeks is commonly observed
toward the evening. The tongue becomes
clear, and in many instances 1t assumes an
alarming appearance, and is redder than in
health. There are generally profuse and
exhausting night sweats at thus advanced
stage of the disease. and, unless relief is
found, swelling oftbe ankles and diarrhea
follow, and death closes the scene.
In many cases the Pulmonic Syrup alone
will cure this form OF consumption, but
when the bowels are costive, the liver tor
Did. and want of tone exists in the diges-
tive organs, the Sea Weed To0ic and Man
drake Pills are necessary, the former 10
stimulate and invigoraie the organs OF d.
gestion. and the latter to regulate the liver
and bowels.
