Cures.

PHILADELPHIA. PA, July t.
Fake consumption cures cheat the
public out of sI5,000,000 yearly. ac-
cording to a statement given out by
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis, For
this vast sum of money the victims
receive no benefits, but often are per-
manontly injured, and in many of the
cases are cheated out OF a chance
for real cure. Worse STILL most of
this money Is paid out by those who
can least afford 1t.
The national association has inves-
tigated several hundred of these
cures" and treatments" for tuber-
culosis, for which $4,000. 900 a year is
being spent In advertising. II has been
found that a majority contain harm
full and habit forming drugs. such as
morphine, opium and chloroform.
None OF them Will cure consum ption.
The only recognized cure for the dis
ease Is q com bination of fresh air, rest
and wholesome food.
Three classes of "cures'' are distin-
guished by the national association. In
the first class are included devices and
drugs that can be bought for a sum
ranging from 10 cents to SIS at any
drug store The second class includes
the Institute" Professors or com
panies of doctors" who for consid-
Grafton guarantee to cure consumption
by some secret remedy of which they
are the sole proprietors. "
In the third class of cures are
placed number of home made rene
dies which either through ignorance
or superstition have been advanced
as treatments for tuberculosis. Some
of these are onions. lemons. rattle
snake poison. coal dust. lime dust.
pigs blood, dog oil. milk. "strippings'
and alcohol.
