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 it incurable?'
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 and history of
| Consumption. l 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-fn other words
while it is not possible to say agh Consumption Sc
lects this or that person vicn-yet the predts-
| posing causes are:
LIST, Inheritance Consumption is hereditary in a
wonderful degree one parent very often entails it
upon the offspring and both stin more frequently so
that whole families often swept away, and hand
the predispOsition down to their children.
I'd, Cold. By this we do not mean those changes of
weather which often produce inflammation; but long
continued and steady cold that condition of de-
bity is produced Indeed, whatever tends to produce
long continued debility WILL in some persons generate
Pulmonary Consumption. Prominent among these
influences are insufficient diet living in unwhole-
air. sedentary habits grief anxiety disaDpoint
oil
other depressing emotions the abuse of mercury and
the influence of weakening diseases. also agree With
the best doctors as to the manner in which the lungs
become affected. Pulmonary Consumption is also
called TslbeTcUOuS Consumption, by which we mean
disease of the lungs caused by tubercles. Atuberce
is a small roundish body, which is deposited in the
substance of the lungs by the blood This is the be-
ginning and first act of the disease Many Of these are
often deposited at once Each undergoes several
changes After producing Inflammation Of the parts
of the lung next to it. it ends liberation, opens
passage into the bronchial tubes and passes out at
mouth by splitting. The place where the tubercle
grew and rpened now becomes a cavity, and where
there great many tubercles of course they make
great many of these little cavities which gradually
unite and leave great holes in the lungs Unless stop
be put to this process, it viii go until the sub
stance of the lungs is consumed and death ensues
OF course agree with the faculty upon the syInp-
toms and of the disease the short dry hack

then shortness of breath, quickening pulse, then
feversh sensations, flushing of the cheeks and heat

Now, as have said mainly agree with the medical
faculty these points. But when we come to the
treatment of the disease differ from it totally The
doctors believe Pulmonary Consumption cannot b5
cured. Therefore they do not try to do anything
than to smooth the patients path to the grave
and quite reckless of the medicines they giveso
that the patient is kept COM Portable and ea& even if
his life is shortened. AS tuberces begin to
appear in the lungs of patient it is prae-
tice with many leading physicians to begin dosing
with whisky in increasing quantities. until the raYages
OF excessive dram-drinking added to the ravages
of the disease; and have yet to hear Of single case
of Consumption which was cured by stiInuIants /
can say the same Of Cod Liver Oil. Many physicians
send their patients away from home on distant yoy-
ages, to Minnesota or F1orida-anything or anywhere
so that they may die easy For they do not pretend
to care, and they have remedies which viii do So
cured, but that my medicines do them. The
proof Is, that By their thousands Of Co8unptioes
hare been and are nOlo being cured By them.
The whole science of medicine is based expert
ments. We cannot by any process of reasoning decide
that any particular medicine viii help or cure any
particular disease. How was it found that Quinine
Will cure Chills and Fevers? Why by trying one thing
after another, until experience demonstrated that it
was specific for that disease. In just that way the
knowledge was gained of my remedies, which are al
most specific in diseases of the lungs.
PumonaryCo Consumption is hereditary in my fathers
family. His father mother, brothers and sisters died
of it, and he had reached almost the last stages of the
disease when he was proYdenially led to experiment
with the articles which are incorporated in these med
icines. He cured by them, and lived strong,
healthy for forty years after his recovery.
What cured him has cured thousands of others all
over the country.
These results are not accidental. There is such
thing as accident in nature.
Whatever mag be the caetSe the origin of Pulmonary
Consumption is in the blood. Whenever, from any of
the predisposing causes which have Just men,

make tuberculous deposits in the substance of the
lungs. This must be stopped death will surely fol-

already deposited, and heal up the sores already
made, but something must be done to stop further
deposits. What shall that be? The regular faculty
say nothing can be done. say purify enrich and tone
up the blood, until becomes so healthy longer
to make tuberces Can this be done? Yes. How? By
the easiest and most natural way ia the world. Take
