The Only Cure for Consumptiot

The Only Cure for Consumption.

The practice of drenching the human
stomach with cod Liver oil is fast fall
ing into disease. This is owing to the
utterly indigestible qualities of this
nauseating quacllery. There is no
stomach in the world that can digest
cod-liver oil in its pure state. For this
reason certain per cent of alcohol
enters into the composition of the So
called relief. Consumptives, so soon
as they discover the nature of their
malady, rush to the nearest drug store
and begin at once to take all kinds of
narseating medicines, impure stimu-
lants and poisonous intoXicants. Their
stomachs soon become debilitated and
deranged and under such circum-
stances 1t is no wonder that they can
not build up their system nor repair
the waste of tissue. 1t is now we'll
known that cod liver oil forms de-
generate fat Beef tea is falling into dis
use; in like manner iron, not only in the
treatment of consumption. but in gen
eral practice. In the United States
there is probaly no disease, so univcr-
sally fatal and so universally feared, as
consumption. There are few house
holds where there has not been at least
one death from it, The public, as well
as the medical profession, have long
ago decided that medicinal agents, hav-
ing the character Of food, are the only
things that have any value in the
treatment of disease. There is not an
article to-day that enters so largely into
medical practice, for the treatment of
the sick and dcbilitated, as alcohol in
the form of whiskey, and there is not
an intelligent physician but who pre-
scribes ii, or hospital but what re-
quires 1t constantly on hand. So i'm
portant is the use of alcohol in the
treatment Of disease that Professor

stimulants is one of the striking charac-
teristics of progress in the practice of
medicine during the last half century"
