Can Consumption be Cured?

Read what Mr. William 0. Digges, a merchant of Bowling Green, Va., writes under date of April 4th, 1881. He says : I firmly believe that Allen's Lung Balsam will and has cured consumption if taken in time and proper care be taken of the Patient both in suitable food and clothing. Six years ago my mother was attacked with pneumonia. The attending physician “ some time after” told me that the disease had settled on her Lungs and that she had the consumption. Not believing that a permanent cure could be effected, but thinking I might be able to get an expectorant not containing opium, whiciwwould afford some relief, I inquired of a druggist at Richmond, Va., if he had any medicine not containing opium, that was a good expectorant. He then recommended Allen’s Lung Balsam, which I purchased and induced my mother to try. Before she had taken the first bottle, the improvement in her condition was so marked that I purchased three more bottles. The attending physician, seeing the beneficial effects, recommended its continued use, and in about twelve months her lungs were pronounced cured. Upon my recommendation many others who had the consumption have been cured. I think you can claim for your medicine the following : Exijectorat on without irritation, and healing of the lungs by keeping them free from foreign substances, thugs arresting and curing this dread disease. Mr. Digges says he writes because he wants it known that Allen’s Lung Balsam is doing good.
