PULMoNEC SYRUP,
SEAWEED TONIC,
and MANDRAKE PILLS.
As the proprietor Of these medicines I conscien-
tiously offer them to the public as safe reliable and
certain remedies for the Care of Consumption and
with equal confidence as almost specific for those
morbid conditions of the body which, if neglected,
are apt terminate in fatal diseases of the lungs
claim that the use of my remedies viii Con-
sumption.
do not claim that the disease be cured after the
lungs destroyed, for medicine create
ones; but maintain that the first stages of Con-
sumption durable, when the lungs partially
decayed. When one lung is sound I almost
tain of making cure If the patient win take proper
care of himself and follow my directions.
1t may be asked How is it that you can know SO
much about this disease and pretend it. when
many educated physicians, who have made study
of it for years, pronounce itincurable?"
The question is fair one, and shall be fairly an
swered: I do not claim to know more than other
physicians about the causes, nature history Of
Consumption. I suppose that my views these
points would be found to agree with those of most
educated and intelligent physicians. We should agree
that while the final cause is obscurein other words
while it is possible say tOhy Consumption selects
this or that person Yictim-yet the pTedispo8ing
causes are:
LIST, Inheritance. Consumption Is hereditary in q
wonderful degree One parent very often entails It
upon the offspring and both still more frequently, so
that whole families often swept away, and hand
the predisposition down to their children.
3D. Cold. By this do not mean those changes Of
weather which often produce Inflammation; but long
continued and steady cold, that condition of de-
bility produced. Indeed, whatever tends to pro-
duce long continued debility win in some persons,
generate Pulmonary Consumption. Prominent among
these influences insufficient diet, living In I'M
wholesome air. sedentary habits, grief anxiety, dis
appointment. whether Of the affections or IN busi-
and all other depressing emotions; the abuse OF
mercury and the influence Of weakening diseases
also agree with the best doctors the manner in
which the lungs become affected Pulmonary Con-
sumption is also called Tp6ercuIouS Consumption by
which We mean disease of the lungs caused by
tubercles. A tubercle is q small. roundish body
which Is deposited in the substance Of the lungs by the
blood This is the beginning and first act Of the dis
ease. Many Of these are often deposited at once.
Inflammation Of the parts Of the lung next Il, 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 rfpened now be-
comes cavity. and where there are a great many
tubercies of they make great many Of these
little caYites which gradually unite and leave great
holes In the lungs. Unless stop be put to this
