The influence of climatic conditions Itt the cure of consumption is very much overdrawn. The poor patient, and the rich patient, too, can do much better at home by proper attention to food diges tion and a regular use of German Syrup. Free expectoration in the morning in made certain by Germau Syrup, so is a good night's rest and the absence of that weakening cough and debilitating night sweat. Restless' nights and the exhaustion due to coughing, the great est danger and dread of the consump tive, can be prevented or stopped by taking German Syrup liberally and reg ularly. Should you be able to go to a warmer clime, you will find that of the thousands of consumptives there, the few who are benefited and regain strength are those who use German Syrup.
