As the proprietor OF these medicines I conscien-
tously offer them to the public safe. reliable and
certain remedies for the Cure of Consumption, and
with equal confidence as almost specific for those
morbid conditions OF the body, which, IL neglected,
apt to terminate in fatal diseases of he lungs
claim that the OF my remedies win cure Con-
sumption
do not claim that the disease can be cured after the
lungs destroyed, for medicine can create new
ones; but l maintain that the FIRST stages of Con-
sumption cursble when the lungs partially
decayed When one lung Is sound l am almost Ger.

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 It for years, pronounce itlncurabe?"
The question s a fair one and shall be fairly an.
swered: l 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 obscure-in other words
while It is not possible to say tOhy Consumption selects
this or that person a victim-yet the predisposn2
causes are:
LIST, Inheritance. Consumption Is hereditary in q

upon the osprlng and both still frequently so
that whole families are often swept away, and hand
the predisposition down to their children.

also agree with the best doctors to the manner In
which the lungs become affected. Pulmonary Con-
sumption is also called THoerculous Consumption by
which we mean disease of the lungs caused by
