Consumption.
The bile poisoned blood resulting from faulty action
ct the liver passes from the upper and right cavity of
The heart to the lower cavity thence directly the
lungs circulating through all parts of these most del
icate organs. The tissues of the lungs poisoned
and irrtated and thus invite the scrofuous humors
with which the blood is burdened. In this way con.
sumption, which is scrofula of the lungs. defined
by all the most scientific authors is established.

Asthma.
This spasmodic and distressing malady is generally
the result of reflex action, produced by i'm

Kidney Disease.
The impure blood which torpid liver fails to purify,
affects only tho heart and lungs but also other
portant organs In its circulation it passes from the
lungs back the upper left cavity of the heart thence
to the lower cavity and thence through the arteries
and capiares to every tissue and organ of the sys
tenn. The Kidneys are among the most important of
those organs, furnishing. as they do, important
excretion-that of the urine. They become diseased
