Consumption. Bronchitis. Pulmonary Catarrh,
Asthma and Pneumonia are the chief diseases Of
the lungs which endanger our lives.
For n long time they supposed TO be con-
stitLtonal diseases. and were treated through
the stomach and general system. 1t was false

We now know that they not constitutional,
but local diseases of the lungs. They begin

obstructs them.
The only treatment that is effective and GER

zeal science that all local diseases require local
treatment for their cure. Physicians VINO regard
lung diseases as constitutional, ard treat then
through the stomach, do not expect to cure them.

The Importance of tho lungs, in the economy or
