Consumption is a human weed flourishing best in weak lungs. Like other weeds it's easily destroyed while young ; when old, sometimes im- possible. Strengthen the lungs as you would weak land and the weeds will disappear. The best lung fertilizer is Scott's Emulsion, Salt pork is good too, but it is very hard to digest. The time to treat consump" tion is when you begin tryin g to hide it from yoursel Others see it, you won't. Don't wait until you can't deceive yourself any longer. Begin with the first thought to take Scott's Emulsion. If it isn't really consumption so much the better; you will soon r | tree it and be better for the treatment. If it is consump- tion you can't ex be cured at once, but if you will begin in time and will be rigidly regular in your treat- ment you will win.
