Honest Advice to Consumptives Somehow there exists a vast amount of scepticism as to the possibility of curing Consumption. We state none but facts,, and are Blncere In what we assert. If we were afflicted with Tuberculosis, we should do precisely what we ask others to do take Kckinan's Alterative promptly and faithfully. The reason we should do this and warrant we have for asking all Consumptives to take It, Is that we havo the reports of many recoveries, one of which follows: 1010 Susquehanna Ave., I'lillu., Pa. "Gentlemen: For two years I was af flicted with hemorrhages of the lungs, the number totaled nearly one hundred. Our family physician advised another climate, as to remuln would probably be fatal. However, I remained, and In Feb ruary of 1002, I was taken with a severe attack of pneumonia. When I recovered sufficiently to walk about the houso I was left with a frightful backing cough, which no medicine I bad taken could alle. vlate. It was at this time. March, 1002, that I learned of and started taking Kckman's Alterative. In a short time my cough was gone and I was pronounced well. Since that time I have had two si lull t attacks of pneumonia and I have resorted to no other medicine to effect a cure. "I am at present In excellent health. and feel that as long as I cap obtain Eclt man's Alterative, I have no fear of Con sumption, I cannot sneak too highly for the good It has done." (Signed) IIOWAnn L. KLOTZ. Frkman's Alterative Is effective In Bron chitis, Asthma, Hay Fever; Throat and Lung Troubles, and In upbuilding the system. Does not contain poisons, opiates or habit-forming- drugs. Ask for booklet telling of recoveries, and write to Eekman Laboratory, Philadelphia. Pa., for more evi dence.
