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
woodc will dicsnnnnr
The best lung fertilizer is
Scott's Emulsion. Salt pork
is good 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
c ired at once, but if you will

Scott's Emulsion, fresh air,

can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.
