CHANGE OF CLIMATE
WON'T CURE CONSUMPTION
The Sl0cum System is Needed.
A Curative Medicinal Treatment Founded on Modern
Scientific Truths is More Potent
Than Air Alone.
FREE TREATMENT FOR LUNG WEAKNESS.

IF those Of our readers who reside in
the most highly favored sections of this
country, where the climate is healthy
and invigorating, with q dry and tonic
atmosphere, will look about them, they
will see greater or less number of Their
friends and neighbors dying of con.
sumption, while many others have
already been carried off by that dread
malady.
These deaths have occurred from time
to time amid the refreshing prairie
breezes of summer; in the fair and mel.
low days of autumn, and also in the dry
and sunny seasons of a southern winter.
ESuch deaths amid such favorable sur
roundings afford positive and convinc-
ing proof that climate alone will not
cure consumption; that neither pine
laden breezes nor bracing mountain air
will restore weak lungs or build up q
constitution that is being undermined
and broken down by the insidious germs
of fatal disease.
But, on the other hand, many thou
sands of testimonials from grateful peo-
pie all over this country, who have been
cured by the DIR. Slocum System of
AlSotiiicul, aiA ttiS -SSG.sy Az ShS CnJoy
ment of perfectly restored health and
strength, afford the most convincing
evidence that this treatment, aided by
favorable climatic conditions and sur
roundings, is a positive cure for Con-
sumption and all other chronic diseases
of the Throat, Chest and Lungs.
Therefore, those who 60 to the noun
tains. the seashore or to southern cli-
mates, as we'll as those who already
reside in such favored localities. should
not fail to take the DR.. Slocum System
of Treatment if they wish to derive the
full benefits of favorable climatic condi-
tons and scientific medication.
The DR.. Slocum System of Treatment
consisting Of Four Preparations is both
medicine and food. The medicines used
in it allay the cough and lung irritation,
heal the soreness and subdue the pains
in the throat, overcome shortness of
breath, improve the appetite and diges-
ton, and bring comfort, rest and re-
freshing sleep, while its food properties
are building up the constitution, enrich
ing the blood and infusing the sufferer
with new life and vigor.
No single remedy will accomplish all
this, but the Four Remedies embodied
in the DR.. Slocum System of Treatment
will. More than quarter of century
has been devoted TO perfecting this
System of Treatment: every indication.
every symptom in Consumption and
other diseases of the Throat and Lungs,
has been carefully studied in the devel-
