FITCH'S GUIDE TO INVALIDS. CURE AND MANAGEMENT OF DISEASES. CONSUMPTION. Let the invalid remember that consumption results from several diseases. What is called pulmonary or true consumption is always two diseases, and often more; hence it is that no one medicine probably ever cured pulmonary consumption. It is often the case that a medicine is found that will help one part of the disease and not the other, and so help, but never enre the patient. This is the reason why medicines have a fashion both with physicians and others; are noticed for a while, and then f notice or confidence, because they do not cure. For this reason I use medicine for each disease, and overlook not the least, and give, of course, many medicines, but nothing to break you down, or take away your strength, or appetite, or pleas- ures, or occupation, but all to cure and build up the health and strength. Remember that this is an entirely curable disease, if treated right, and before the lungs are so much ulcerated that the whole constitution is destroyed. Persons often recover who are very low and have been long sick, First of nil, read my Six Lectures on Consumption, Asthma, etc.; read them carefully and understanding^. The Lectures are written in the plainest English. Read them, if you can get them, before you consult me, or u«e remedies After reading them, hasten at once to your remedies. A delay, even of a few days, may greatly alter the character of your disease, and make vour recovery much more doubtful.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b21119387_0006.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
