Climatic Cures.

The influence Of climatic conditions
in the cure of consumption is very
much overdrawn. The poor patient,
and the rich patient, too, can do
much better at home by proper at
tention to food digestion, and a regu-
lar use of German Syrup. Free ex-
pectoration in the morning is made
certain by German Syrup, so is a
good nights rest and the absence of
a weakening cough and debilitatiug
night sweat. Restless nights and the
exhaustion due to coughing, the
greatest danger and dread Of the con
sumptive, can bo prevented or stop
ped by taking German Syrupliberally
