think | can explain this to you
Doctor, by referring you to the chart
which hangs on the wall here. You
will notice that it is representation
Of the lungs, the right lung being to-
ward your left as you look at the chart
and the left lung being toward your
right. You will notice a number of
cavities in the lungs. In the left lung
there is a cavity, marked b, which is
entirely empty and dry. Now, this cayi-
ty, in the beginning, was filed with pus;
but, by coughing, it was emptied of the
pus. 1t probably took the patient q
week or so before the pus was entirely
expectorated. Then, you see, there be-
ing no more. pus to eXpectorate, it ceased
until another cavity should form.
The cavity marked A in the right lung
on the chart is partly filed with pus,
the upper portion of the cavity being
empty, and the lower portion containing
pus. As soon as this cavity has been
entirely emptied expectoration will cease
for time. This fact always leads the
patient, and sometimes the doctor, to be-
lieve that there is an Improvement; but
they are doomed to disappointment in
week or two by the appearance of the
same old expectoration as soon as an
other cavity forms.
"a patient asks: "Do you expect
that the use Of Pe-ru-na alone will cure
this woman entirelyYo
| am not sure that | will use any,
thing but the Pe-ru-na in her case.
may be that l shall be obliged later t
use Re-na-ci Plaster which is made
by The Pe-ru-na Drug Manufacturing
Company Of this city, under my direc-
tons. If any of you desire one of these
plasters you can get them from this
company for 81 each, accompanied by
complete directions for use.
Whenever / treat cases of consump-
ton by correspondence l always advise
the use of this plaster; but in cases
where / have the opportunity to exam
inc the patient every day, as in the case
of Mrs. HeinZle. | sometimes manage
to conduct the treatment without the
use of the plaster. Bur patients that
] cannot visit personally | give them
the benefit of the doubt by advising
them all to use the plaster
"a doctor asked: DO Won advise Pc
rn-na in consumption according to d.
rections on the bottleY''l
make some devia tion in the use of
Pe-ru-na in these cases from the direc-
tiOns on the bottle. The directions on
the bottle are only for general use
The Ills of Life" explains the direc-
tons for the use of Pe-ru-na in each
disease AS you viii see by referring
TO page II of the ellis of Life" the dose
! prescribe for consumption is tea
spoonful every hour; or, in cases where
it is more convenient, tablespoonful
every two or three hours. In cases
where the strength is rapidly failing
md there is a rapid loss OF flesh I have
had some very excellent results from a
tablespoonful OF Pe-ru-na> every hour
and would recommend this dose in ur
gent cases and where it seems to agree
with the patient
But in all cases where the patient Is
very weak before commencing the
treatment, 1 would recommend Begin
ming with very small dose and srad-
ually increasing to the regular dose.
