ll-important; not that the air should be cold, but
that it should be as pure as possible.

The diet must be nutritious, cabonaceous, and of sufficient quantity.
Beef, milk, rich cream, plenty of good butter, eggs, fish, wheat bread
from unbolted flour, supply the appropriate alimentary substances for
perfect nutrition and the maintenance of animal heat.

To overcome the modified form of inflammation in the bronchial tubes,
all sources of irritation should be avoided, as the inhalation of dust,
or excessively cold air. It is in the cure of severe and obstinate cases
of this disease that Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has achieved
unparalleled success, and won the highest praise from those who have
used it. Its value will generally be enhanced in treating this complaint
by adding one-half a teaspoonful of the fluid extract of _Veratrum
Viride_ to each bottle. This can be added by any respectable druggist.
Especially should it be thus modified if the pulse be accelerated so as
to beat ninety or a hundred times in a minute. The "Golden Medical
Discovery" should be taken in teaspoonful doses, repeated every two
hours. When the cough is dry and hard, with no expectoration, it arises
from irritation of some of the branches of the pneumogastric nerve,
which this remedy will relieve. It may, however, be aided by inhaling
the hot vapor of vinegar and water, or vapor from a decoction of hops,
to which vinegar has been added.

The use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery should be _persisted_
in, taking it in frequent doses, every two or three hours, and keeping
up its use until the disease yields and is perfectly stamped out. Do not
expect a formidable disease of perhaps weeks' or months' duration to be
_speedily_ cured. Chronic diseases are generally slow in their inception
and development and can only be cured by gradual stages. Perseverance in
treatment is required. Many invalids do not possess the strength of
purpose--the will power--to continue the use of the "Golden Medical
Discovery" long enough to receive its full benefits. It is worse than
useless for such to commence its use, for without persistency it cannot
be expected to cure such obstinate maladies as chronic bronchitis.

ASTHMA.

One of the most distressing ailments with which the human family is
afflicted is asthma. Its symptoms are not to be mistaken. Suddenly and
without apparent prov
