wild and Franz aud his wife were almost
equally frantic. To adjust the matter,
Franz bought twenty acres of land near

TO dwell together in peace, but all to no
avail. They drifted TO Cleveland to-day
and asked all of the city officials. high
aud low, TO help them out OF the dilem-

to another until they brought up In the

CONSUMPTION,

The earlier symptoms OF this disease are
a sense OF weariness upon little exertion,
disposition 70 remain passive and idle. pc.
culiar sensitiyeness to the effects OF cold
and a shortness OF breath upon moving
quickly or ascending a hill or stairs. slight
hacking cough, with or without expectora-
ton. flying pains throughout the chest or
back, or under the shoulder blades. The
symptoms are worse towards or dnring the
night, slight fever in the afternoon, cold
feet and hands, and Ia many cases blue liY-
idity OF the lips aud roots OF the finger nails.
The more advanced symptoms are wasting
of flesh, diarrhos, chiils aud fever, night
sweats, approximations of yellow pus from
the ulcers or cavities in the lungs, with or
without a depression of the chest. Increasing
weakness and at last a closing up OF the air
passages Of the lungs, causing strangulation
or sutfocation of the patient for want of
power to expectorate the mucous from the
lungs.
Heretofore the treatment OF consum ption
has been very unsatisfactory, alike to both
the physicians and their patients, but lucki
ly since the discovery of the Aerean system
Of practice few years ago, thousands OF
cases have been completely cured where

utter failure to combat the evils of the dis
ease would have continued up to the pres
