In fatal diseases Of the lungs claim that the use
of my remedies will cure Consumption.
do not claim that the disease can be cured after
the lungs are destroyed, for no medicine can
create new ones: but maintain that the nrst
stages of Consumption are durable, even when the
lungs are partially decayed. When one lung Is
sound am almost certain Of making cure, II the
patient viii take proper care Of himself and follow
my directions.
II may be asked, "How is II that you can know
so much about this disease, and pretend TO cure II,
when so many educated physicians, who have
made study of it for years, pronounce it incura-
bic z"
The question is q fair one, and shall be fairy an
swered: | do not claim to know more than other
physicians about the causes, nature and history oil
Consumption 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 1t Is not possible TO say rhp
Consumption selects this or that person as victim
yet the predfsposfng causes are:
LIST, Inheritance. Consumption Is hereditary In
wonderful degree. One parent very often entails
1t upon the offspring and both still more frequent
ly, so that whole families are often swept away,
and hand the predispostion down to their child
rem
cd, Cold By this we do not mean those changes
of weather which often produce Inflammation; but
long-continued and steady cold, so that condition
Of debility is produced. Indeed, whatever tends
to produce ng-contlnued debility will, in some
persons generate Pulmonary Consumption Prom
inent among these Influences are insufficient diet,
living in an unwholesome air, sedentary habits,
grief anxiety, disappointment, whether OF the ar
fectons OF in business, aud all 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 be-
come affected Pulmonary Consumption Is also
called Tttbercul0us Consumption, by which We
mean . d sease OF the lungs caused by tuberc!e-.
A tubercle is q small, rOun1ish body which Is de-
posted IN the substance OF the lungs by the blood
This Is the beginning and the first act OF the dis
ease. Many Of these are often deposited at once.
Each one undergoes several changes. After pro-
ducing Inflammation of the parts Of the lung next
10 II, it ends in liberation, opens passage into
BY splitting. The place where the tuberce grew
and ripened now becomes 4 cavity, and where
there are a great many tubercles, OF course they
make a great many OF these little cavities, which
gradually unite and leave great holes In the lungs
Unless a stop be put TO this process II will go
on until the substance Of the lungs Is consumed
and death ensues.
OF course agree with the faculty upon the
SYMPTOMS and course of the disease; the short,
dry hacking cough, slight at lrst, but gradual
ly increasing; then shortness Of breath, aqulcken
ing pulse then feyeTish sensations, flushing OF the
cheeks and heat in the palms OF the hands and
soles OF the feet; the slight but growing emicla-
ton, with feeble appetite, hemOrrhages, tncreas-
ing coughs, disturbed sleep, teyered tongue, then
IS OF appetite, expectoration OF sOftened tuber-
Gle IN the shape OF small Jumps Of yellOwIsh,

creasing emacisrion and debility ,disordered stom-
ach and bowels, ciarrhes, nausea, swollen ex-
iremties, hollow cheeks, sunken e,es, weakness
so great that expectOration is impossible; then
death, bringing welcome relief from the tortures
of this horrid monster.
Now, as have said, | mainly agree with the
medical faculty on these points But. when We
come 10 tue treatment OF The disease diher from

sumption ctl1aot be cured. Therefore they do not

Many physicians send thetr patients away from

anything or anywhere so that they may die easy.
For they do not pretend 10 cure, and they have no
remedies which viii do so. Now | say not only
that diseases Of the lungs can be cured, but that
my medicines do cure them. The proof Is, that
ov their use thousands or COHSu1iptires hare
been and are R0'c oefr9 cured By them.
The whole Science of medicine is based on eNre-
rimenis. We cannot by any process Of reasoning
decide that any particular medicine Will help OF
cure any particular disease. How was il found
that Quinine will cure Chls and Fever Why, by
trying one thing after another, until experience
demonstrated Inat it was 4 specific for that dis
ease. In Just thar way the knowledge was gained
Of my remed es, which are almost specific in dis.
eases Of the lungs
Pulmonary Consumption Is hereditary in my
fathers family. His father, mother, brothers and
sisters died of il, sndh had reached almost the
last stages of the disease when he was prOviden-
TALLY led TO experiment with the artic es which
are incorporated in these medicines He was cured
by them, and lived, 4 strong, healthy man, for
over forty years after s recovery. What cured
him has cured thousands OF others all over the
country.
These results are not accidental There 10 no
such thing as accident in nature.
Whatever may b. the cause, the origin OF Pull
monary Consumption Is In the blood. Whenever,
from any of the predsposing causes which have
Just now mentioned, the blood becomes degenera-
tedii begins TO make tuberculous deposits in the
substance of the lungs. This must be stopped, or
death will surely follow. IL Will not be emo ugh TO
get rid Of the tuberces already deposited. and heal
up the sores already made, but something must be
done TO stop further deposits What shall that be-
1 he regular faculty say nothing can be done.
say purify, enrich, and tone up the blood, until 1t
becomes so healthy as no longer 10 make tuber-
cles. Can this be done? Yes. How. BY the
easiest and most natural way in the world. Take
a man who shows to the experienced eye, by many
infallible gns, that Consumption has set IN. lie

intend to do:
First, + propose 10 cleanse his stomach and
oo,oeLs other dead, SHINY, ciooov matter. This
I shall do with my Mandrake PLls, which are the
best csthartic pills In the world. They contain no
calomel or other minerals, only vegetable matter.
They evacuate the stomach and bowels gently but
and do not weaken or gripe. They act
like magic the liver, rousIng it out Of is dun,
torpid state, and promoting a full, free flow Of
healthy bile, without which there can be no per-
feet digestion Now that thu stomach and bowels
are cleansed and realy-what next? Create an
appetite. This do by my Sea Weed Tonic. The
effect Of this medicine Is wonderful. Unlike a
temporary stimulant, which by reaction lets the
organs affected sink lower than before, this not
only tones up the stomach, but keeps il toned up.
The natural craving for food returns in all its
force, so that We have now a stomach hun
cry for food, and q digestive apparatus
ready 10 make way with 1t. What next. Any
one can answer that question Put into That
