ome day, it may be not
far distant, a larger acknowledgment may be made, and the medical use of
alcoholic liquors will be entirely a thing of the past.

Rev. J. M. Buckley, D.D., editor of _The Christian Advocate_, was in
early manhood considered an incurable consumptive. Being a man of great
will power and indomitable perseverance, he resolved to try the open-air
cure, together with the use of an inspirator. The result was perfect
restoration to health, so that, as is well known, he can be easily heard
by audiences of thousands at Chautauqua and other places where he is
greatly in request for lectures. He has written a pamphlet giving a full
history of his case. It can be obtained from Eaton & Mains, 150 Fifth
Avenue, New York, for fifty cents, and should be read by all
consumptives who have any "grit" in their composition.

Dr. Forrest, a hygienic physician, says:--

"What is to be done if the germs have already obtained lodgement
in the lungs? Increase the general nutrition of the body in
every way, and then the lungs can resist the inroads of the
disease. The first thing necessary to improve the nutrition of
the body is to stimulate the digestive and absorbent functions
of the stomach and intestines. Naturally then, you must throw
the so-called cough medicines out of the window. The drugs used
to stop a cough are sedatives. Now, no sedative or nauseant is
known that does not lock up the natural secretions and thus
lessen the digestive powers. The cough is nature's method of
expelling offending matter from the lungs and bronchial tubes.
It is infinitely better to have this stuff thrown out of the
lungs than retained there."

Keep the bowels clean is this physician's next recommendation.

Sweet cream is preferable to cod-liver oil as it is not so likely to
derange the stomach. Easily digested food is necessary, as the organs
of digestion are in weakened condition.

Again Dr. Forrest says:--

"The consumptive should live as much as possible in the open
air.

"Dr. Trudeau inoculated twelve rabbits with tubercle or
consumptive germs. Six of these he turned loose on an island
where they ran wild. The other six were kept confined in hutches
such as rabbits are usually kept in. Results--All the six
rabbits in the open air recovered from the inoculation and
remained well. Five of the confined rabbits died of tubercles in
the lu
