1t is an admitted fact by all profound
thinkers and close observers said Dr. Walker
to a z ost reporter who had called upon him
professionally, that consumption is not a
question OF lung disease SO much as il is
one OF constitutional depravity and the lack
OF resistance. Especially is this true when
the disease is first developing. The wasting,
tue general weakness, the easy fatigue, the
painful tiredneEs of the whole body on the
slightest, exertiOn, the shOrtness OF breath,
which is out OF al proportion 10 the amount
OF lung involved. the flushed cheek and fever
as night approaches, the loss Of appetite,
the unusual constituencies to changes in
the weather, ali point plainly 10 the fact
that the general constitution Is at fault
from the beginning OF tie disease and IN
fact, long before any pronounced symp-
tOmsare noticeable. COmsumption Is, there
fore, wasting disease not only OF the lungs.
but OF the whole body. The patient may
have considerable strength, but this has 20
staying qualities. IL is easily spent aud the

error in that portiOnof the body which haste

Of energy. There is no Logger any doubt
among scientises that the fault resides ia the
nervous system. The sufferer from lung
trouble may be hkened to man that is
bodering on financial bankruptcy. With the

thousands of autograph Testimonials on Ills

this. The following Is one of many vol
UNFAIRLY given by grateful patient:
Mr.. George Griffin. a fireman at the
Shoreham Hotel, and who resides at 1109

constant sufferer from nervousness and
general debility since 1881. Although 1

city and elsewhere, can tuthfully say

so because he knows absolutely nothing
either of the disease or itE treatment.
1t is a most serious disease, danger
GUS condition to be in, aad its consequences
to life and health are incalculable. Every
sufferer knows fun well that il is no triv-

ing his energies and rendering him weak
and inefficient as q. man, darkening all
his future with gloom and despair, and
leaving him a mere wrecE-G semblance
as it were Of the strength aud vigOr he
formerly possessed. Such man is con-
stantly conjuring up before his mind ;
eye irrepressible phantoms OF trouble or
misfortune-he is prone to look on the
dark side OF every picture, exaggerates
each trivial disappointment into dire
calamity and is subject to fits Of de-
spair.
The moral of this is for sufferers to seek
cure now, while the disease is durable,
and not wait until il reaches an incurable
or hopeless stage. The disease is q ouTa-
bic one, but requires great skill and ex-
perience on the part of the physician.

furnishes all his own medicines.
