Now, if these people would investigate

guided by the reports of the Bureau OF

is but one remedy and one method by
which Consumption can be cured.

general use until 1886. Now, instead Of
going into the merits OF this new remedy,
we ask you to turn to the yearly reports
of deaths and their causes published by
the Government in 1896. You will find
that the increase in deaths from Con-
sumption and Pneumonia stopped then;
that in 1897 they We're further reduced,
and that this reduction increased annually
until it reached a grand total of 1896 in
1900
That HYOMEI cured 1896 persons of
consumptios in 1900 will undoubtedly sur
