sumption.-Lif Given Back. = Almost
Miraculous.
Fortunately, perhaps, the Consumptiye
does not realize his own condition. His
is disease of continual waste until he
meets death that is in reality one of
starvation.
1t is now generally conceded that this
disease is incurable, = that is, by any
known medicine. Change of climate, or
some life-infusing food that will give new
flesh, blood, and strength, and induce the
various organs of the body to assume their
normal functions, = this is the only hope.
The only way to do this effectually is to
give the patient Bovinine, that great raw
food product, the greatest concentration
OF the life-giving elements of raw beef
known to modern science. In this con-
nection the results obtained by DR.. J. III.
Head of Atlanta, Ga, in the treatment of
case of consumption, are interesting.
DR.. Head relates briefly how a man
about thirty-five years of age came to him
for treatment. He had lost forty pounds
in weight in six months; he suffered with
bad cough and experienced severe night
sweats; he was unable to do any work.:
most of his family had died of consump-
ton, and on examination his right lung
was found to be seriously affected, and as
the doctor remarked, g He was in a good
way to have an early funeral"
But note what happened. He was given
Bovinine. In two weeks he had gained
seven pounds, his appetite had returned,
ne was able to do a good days work, and
