Consumption is produced by little germ

are weak they swarm into them, and
gnaw down the paper like walls. This
decomposition of the lungs is consump-

there is weakness. The person never lived

of strong, healthy lungs. "Blood Wine''
prevents consumption by keeping the
lungs healthy. 1t cures consumption by
