It Contains Many Cooking, Coloring, Painting, and Miscellaneous Receipts— A Calendar, Interest and otker Rules— And Many Pacts Worth Knowing* Weak Lungs. We do not pretend that our medicines alone and unaided will imme¬ diately replace weak lungs with strong ones. Those are charlatans, quacks, and humbugs who have the heartlessness to make such a claim for any particular medicine. It would be just as sensible to assert that a certain drug alone would, lake the place of food to a starving man. The drug might be quite needful, in such a case, to assist by degrees in restor- ing'the strength, but unless some nourishing food can be supplied, the man must die in spite of a world full of medicines. So starving lungs' need their proper food, which is pure, dry, invigorating air at as uniform tem¬ perature as possible. Nourishing, easily-digested diet is also necessary to keep up the strength and aday irritations of stomach, bowels, etc. These once obtained, we would say to all persons with weak lungs that we feel certain they will find in our medicines the much needed assistance which they seek to effect a perfect cure. Instances without number are known to us where people even in the very last stages of Consumption, too poor to seek another climate, and too lat“ in procuring the medicines to avert the fatal end, yet upon hearing of and using those two great remedies, the Kins' of ttae Blood and Hr. Trask’s Magnetic Oint¬ ment, never failed to mitigate their suffering, and in hundreds of cases extend their lives winter after winter when the physicians had declared it impossible to live more than a few- weeks. We need not ask ; we know what these medicines might have done for persons with weak lungs, the first step toward the early stages of Consumption, for the. country is full of people who live to-day to thank the discoverers of these remedies for lives actually saved by them. The “ King of the Blood ” acts as a thorough blood-purifier and scrofula cure, and, as Consumption is generally of scrofulous origin, the “ King of the Blood ” H its greatest foe. This is to be taken internally Its effect upon the livef bowels, stomach, and other internal organs, Is very beneficial and greatly assists the process of resto¬ ration. The “Magnetic Ointment” is to be applied externally. It has wonderful power to mitigate the usual suffering, allay inflammation, soothe irritation, remove the pressure upon the lungs, and thus enable the sufferer to breathe more easily and fully and enjoy nights of rest and refreshing sleep. Thus Nature, relieved of her burden, and well aided, gains time and strength for recovery. We urge the use of these remedies in all cases of Weak Lungs, Asthma, or general debility. A Treatise on Diseases of the Blood, containing many certificates of cures and full directions for using, will be found with each bottle. For allaying the cough our Hiye Syrup and Tola will be found a most valuable aid. it is prescribed throughout the country by the lead¬ ing physicians.
