Fresh air, ex ercise, nourishing food and Scott's Emulsion will come pretty near curing it, if there u anything to build on. Mil lions of people throughout the world ire living and in good health on one lung. J From time immemorial the doctors prescribed cod liver oil for consumption. Of course the patient could not take it in its old form, hence it did very little good. They can take SCOTT'S EMULSION and tolerate it for long time. There is no oil, not excepting butter, so easily digested and absorbed by the system as cod Ever oil in the form of Scott's Emulsion, and that is the reason it is so helpful in consumption where its use must be continuous.
