Consnmntion Cured.


BROUGHT BACK FROM THE GRAVE.
Last November Mr. Joseph James,
painter, of 325 w. Pearl St, Indianapo.
lis, Ind, was at deaths door with quick
consumption. Wasted to a skeleton;
his lungs a mass of ulceration; his
death was hourly awaited by his doctor
and family. He was kept i'll a constant
stupor with opium. A friend, thinking
TO relieve his terrible cough gave him a
bottle of Brazilian Balm. Seeing its
wonderful effect, the doctor advised les
continued use. Mr.. James soon after
dismissed his doctor and depended
on the Balm alone. His recovery was
rapid and complete, and in February he
returned TO work. His lungs are sound,
and his weight greater than at any time
in his life. His recovery is regarded as
almost a miracle.

In consumption beware of cough mix

opium. Opium paralizes the nerves,
and gives the comma bacillus a good
chance to destroy the lungs. 1t is
always fatal. Brazilian Balm does not
contain trace of any opiate, but stimu-
lates the nerves with new life and power,
destroys the microbe, and restores all

plish.
