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 'a good too, but it is very hard to digest The time to treat consump tion 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 consumjj tion you can't expect to be cured at once, but if you will begin in time and will be rigidly regular in your treat ment you w ill win. Scott's EmuLion, fresh air, ut all you can, eat all you can, that's the treatment and that's the best treatment We vill scad y a lluie of the Em b!OU ticO. he u. hat e P1 ! . 1.
