Consumption is a human
weed flourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young;
when old, sometimes impossible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
wreeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
Scott's Emulsion. Salt pork
is sfood too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consumption
is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
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
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consumption
you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
i . .....
ngiciiy regular in your treatment
you will win.
. Scott's Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.
