SISTERSON) resides with her father at 6, BUDDLE STREET, DELVES LANE, CONSETT, DURHAM. At the time she commenced, the doctors had declared her to be in the last stage of tubercular consumption. The father describes her as mere skin and hone ; in a state of prostration heartrending to see. The cough terrible, and on some occasions three pints of corrupt matter vomited in the twenty-four hours." To this he adds, "the neighbours shook their heads, and thought the end would quickly come." On referring to my books, I find that forty-three letters of advice and instructions were sent from Coombe Lodge. In five months, the local doctors pronounced her lungs to be fast healing. “It took a short time (the father writes) to bring her up from the brink of the grave, and the rest or the time to bring her to perfect health." Her recovery was slow but sure. The patient recovered so far as to discontinue my medicine at the close of this year. Being desirous to publish her case, I wrote recently to the father to know if she had continued well, and in a letter, dated May 18, he writes me: “By God's blessing your treatment has proved a thorough success. She is now stronger than before her illness, and in better health than she ever was in her life. Most people think that consumption is incurable, but we have proved it not so." Consultations at Coombe Lodge on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday Mornings only. Every Patient should read the Book beforehand.
