1t is a fixed and immovable fact
that Phthisis Pulmonalis is the
plague of the race, sweeping into
the grave not only people in the
most favored conditions OF lie, but
those OF all classes.
System after system OF treatment
has been tried and surrendered and
remedies innumerable have been ex-
plotted empirically and given fair
trial professionally, only to bear the
fruit OF disappointment and dissatis-
faction. So it was not without a de-
gree of questioning that the subject
OF new remedy hereinafter re-
ferred to was considered. and, after
weighing the facts in its favor and its
record as presented, trial OF it de
termined upon.
/ conhne myself to a condensed
statement OF few typical cases:
January 2S, 1899, Mr.. ]. ]. P. OF
Pleasant Unity, Pa, was brought to
ME by his uncle suffering from acute
tuberculosis Quick Consumption).
His temperature was IO2. pulse us,
rales all over the chest He had night
sweats and almost constant cough
and no appetite, and had lost 81
pounds in the preceding six weeks
The sputa showed tubercle bacilli
present in great numbers.
| prescribed ''TINCTURE
ANAL" Alter two weeks his appe-
tite was better and he showed inn
proyement in other respects. | then
increased the doses, in two weeks
the cough was much better; night
sweats much improved; but little

anIined, and but few tubercle bacilli

My third case was a child OF Mr.
W. {. A. OF Birmingham, whom |
was called to see March IL. Found
him with temperature at Io4I ::
night sweats; cough, entire loss OF
appetite and much emacated | eX-
amined his lungs and found rales all

TURE AMAL,' and after one week
the fever began to decline, appetite
improved, night sweats not so Sc

until July I, at which time | dis
charged him as cured. He continues
in perfect health and holds his normal
weight.
My fourth case was Mrs. J. L. D.
OF Birmingham.
| was called to see her on March
2z. Found her with temperature
Io35A; pulse, 100; considerable ena-
citation; loss OF appetite; night sweats

the symptoms OF acute tuberculosis
Quick Consumption.
l prescribed ''TINCTURE
ANAL" April found her tenn
perature reduced to 1907: pulse,
100; appetite better; night sweats
light.
April IS her temperature and
pulse were normal; appetite good
increase in weight IS pounds
On May IS found no fever, pulse
normal, appetite returned, having
regained her normal weight.
June IA ] discharged her as
CURED.
In these three cases l prescribed
no medicine or Stlmulants other thar
"TINCTURE ANAL"
My experience with the remedy
shows its effect is to make the tuber-
Gle bacilli inactive. gradually. but
surely eradicating them, building III
the system, renewing wasted tissue:
with marvellous rapidity and withou
causing any complications
| regard it as wonderful a discov
cry as has come to my notice in NJ,
thirty years OF practice.
