sons generate pulmonary consumption.
Prominent among these influences are in
sufficient diet, living in an unwholesome
air, sedantary habits. gaief, anxiety, disap-
pointment, whether OF the affections or in
business and all other depressing emo
tions; the abuse of mercury and the in
fluence 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 q
disease oil the lungs, caused by tubercles.
A tubercle is small, roundish body,
which is deposited in the substance Of the
lungs BY the blood. This is the beginning
and first act of the disease. Many Of
these are often deposited at once.

many tubercles, of course, they make q
great many of these little cavities, which

lungs. Unless stop can be put to this
process, it will 60 on until the substance OF
the lungs is consumed and death ensue,.

Now, as have said, 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
quite reckless of the medicines they
give, so that the patient JIG kept
comfortable and easy, even if his life is
shortened. As soon as tubercles begin to
appear In the lungs ola patient, 1t is
common practice with many leading ply
sicians to begin dosing with whisky in in
creasipg quantities, until the ravsges of ex-
cessiye dram.drinking are added to the
ravages of the disease; and | have yet
to hear OF single case OF consump-
ton which was cured by stimulants. can
say the same of cod liver oil. Many ply
sicians send their patients away from home
on distant voyages, to Minnesota or Flor
ida-anything or anywhere 30 that they
may die easy. For they do not pretend TO
cure and they have no remedies which will
do so. Now say not only that diseases of
the lungs eau be cured. but that my medi-
cines do cure them. The proof is, that by
their use thousands OF c0nsumptives have
been and are COW being cured By them.
The whole science OF medicine 10 based
on experiments. We cannot by any pro-
cess OF reasoning decide that any particu-
lar medicine will belp or cure any particu-
lar disease. how MAS ~ ionna that Sui-
nine will cure Chills and Fevers? Why.
By trying oIe thing after another, until
experience demonstrated that 10 was @
specific fo- that disease. In Just that way
ie knowlt dge was gained Of my rent dies,
which are almost specific In diseases OF
the lungs.
Pulmonary consumption is hereditary in
my fathers family. His father, mother,
brothers and sisters died OF Il, and he had
reached almost the last stages Of the dis.
ease when be was provideDtially led TO ex.
pertinent with the articles which are in.
corporated in these medicines. He was
cured by them, and lived strong, healthy
man for over forty years after bis recov-
cry. What cured him has cured thou
sands OF others all over the country.
These results are not accidental. There
is no such thing as accident In nature.
Whatever may be the cause, the origin Of
pulmonary consumption Ia In the blood.
Whenever. from any OF The predisposing
causes which have just now mentioned,
the blood bec- mes degenerated IL begins TO
make tuberculons deposits In the substance
Of the lungs. This must be stopped, or
not be enough 10 get rid Of
the tubercles already deposited,
and heal up the sores already made, but
something must be done 10 stop further de-
posts. Whaf shall that BEL The regular
