II 4HAT the people call consumption |
w" the doctors are in the habit of
calling tuberculosis or pulnlon-
airy phthisis. The word con-
sumption however, seems to be the most
expressive and descriptive Of this terrible
nalady that causes more deaths than all
wars, pestilence and famine.
There Is No Specific Cure for Con-
sumption.
In spite of all the buster and big talk
about it no serum cordial or injection has
been discovered that will cure or even pre-
vent consumption.
Consumption steals upon it's victim so
insidiousy and gives so little warning Of
Its approach and progress that it often
happens that the first stage is fully passed
before the victim is aware Of it.
But while there is no cure for consump-
ton in it's latter stages,
A Great Many Cases Are Cured.
The case described in the ACCOMPANYING
illustration (Mrs. Closet is a sample OF
many others who have escaped certain

AS to the cause of consumption. DIR.

ton. said:
greatest and most frequent cause OF con-
sumption.
.'This is by far the greatest and most
frequent cause of ALL Specialists who are
the best authority Gl this subject at the
present time. insist that all but the frst
causes above given arc merely predispos-
ing causes while the real exciting cause is
chronic catarrh.
80 thoroughly am l convinced OF this
fact that even when heredity (the first
cause) is present, I invariably examine
the throat and fauces for chronic catarrh
and have yet the first case to see where
catarrh was not present. [ sincerely be-
lieve that If every case of chronic catarrh
was timely and properly treated that even
heredity would not be sufficient to develop
this terrible disease.
THE existence of tubercles in the lung
of every case of consumption is no longer
held to be true by the greater number of
consumption may be caused by anything
that sets up chronic inflammation of the
parenchyma Of the lung. and needs no
special explanation to account for it's ex-
istence.

This Much Is Sure:

That most cases Of genuine consumption
are due to the extension Of chronic ca
tarrhal inf1ammations to the lungs from
the throat and bronchial tubes. and that a
chronic Inflammation may begin in the
lungs as the result of Serious exudatlons
into the air cells, caused by catarrh. These
cases certainly need no germ theory to
explain. their existence.
However too little is known as yet
about this subject to allow any conscieht1-
Gus person to affirm or deny the truth OF
the existence OF specific tubercular
bacillus.
THE acute form of this disease is
known as quick consumption, and the
chronic form as creeping or catarrhal con-
sumption. There is no essential differ
ence in them. but the acute form is much
! more incurable than the chronic.
1.-The cough, which is nearly always one
of the earliest symptoms. is a loose cough,
with a more or less abundant expectora-
ton, which at first is mucus, and will
| float on water, but as the disease devel-
ops becomes partly pus. which can be de-
tected by splitting in clear water when a
| portion of it Will sink slowly to the bot

dant as the disease advances. The cough
is worse on. first lying down at night. on
getting up in the morning, and after full
