Although at hrst they a- pear mild they eventually prove oosnatean Dy ue- srees become more painful, the symptoms are yer ging upon an expression of the second stage of the disease. The cough, which is dry, and occurs fre- uuenty in the night, eventually produces most pam

More over it is sometimes accompanied with pain m the back and limbs. Dr. Rush particularly remarks burning in the palms of the hands and bottoms O. the N. iCa. a.lorlN n Q nVn ming and morning. The eyes are affected with rheum .-that s with discharge of water upon waking outOf sleep.

To these symptoms may be added hoarseness, shorness of breath, sensations ot faintness general paleness of the countenance, cos tyeness othe bowels. failure of appetite, llstessness 60 action and disposition to lay too long m bed, ,Nc &c. These may be considered the greater number of the symptoms which threaten consumption and there is no disease against which it is so important to make timely defence. To those persons who have these symptoms, the Vegetable l,d'an Spec.ec IS urgently all others the most likely to afford relief and the benefit of which has been experienced by thous- ands.

 Such persons as have not had timely warning, or have not been sufficiently fortunate to have the op- portunity of using this valuable remedy at tho com mencement of the disease, will see the necessity of the greater to redeem the little tune they nave left before the disease passes into its second stage, where it is of course more serious and dihcult or cure. The symptoms which mark this stage. of the disease become more obvious. The cough IS more violent, constant and ungratifying. The phegm is sparingy and difficulty are more constantly felt in the breast and shoot through into the shoulder blades. The respiration or breathing is more hurried and dificult-the pulse becomes more frequent and iense-the tongue shews more s'gn of fever-the countenance becomes more slckiy with deah-ike paleness, and the patient passes through sleepless nights.

 Ifthese symptoms should not be removed the un- happy sufferers will before long find themselves under the influence of the established hectic fever, the signs ofwhich appear twice day. The first parox'sm or fit occurs about noon sometimes little sooner or la ter, which remits about five in the afternoon 1t IS soon succeeded by another paroxism, which gradual ly'increases until after midnight. After two o'clock in the morning remission takes place, and becomes more considerable as the morning advances lhese levers also commence with some degree of cold shiv- cring, and what is remarkable, when the patients skin feels hot 10 the bystander, there IS nevertheless a of codness and great desire to be near the fire. Of the second paroxism that ot the evening IS generally the severe. It is common, in this te- ver to find increase of it after eating particularly after dinner. It does not subsde long, untiI the evening paroxism or fit comes on attended with sweatings, winch continue to occur and become more and more profuse, through the whole course of the disease The urine which is discharged ishighy coIored and deposits copious branny red sediment, which seldom falls close to the bottom othe vessel- Fhe appetite of the patient seems to improve as the fever advances, unt towards the last of the disease, when difficulty of swallowing generally occurs The first is not commonly considerable; and as the

The hair is shed and the nails of the fingers become bent inward. The feet are often affected with soft swelling and re- quently towards the close the patient becomes delr ious and it is only necessary to add that during the whole course of this last stage, the cough increases and the approximation becomes more copious By this description of the disease in it's three stages the most common reader may be sufficiently informed of the symptoms which attend upon conslmption In order to present the whole in abridged fOrm say the dis ease prevails from the age of sixteen to thrty-hVe- Persons between those two ages should never neg lect cough which is husky, occasionally teasing through the day, increasing towards evening, and har- rassng and troublesome through the night, especIal- ly if there be tighness felt across the chest, which is easily increased upon exercise; and more than al if there should he splitting Of blood The celebrated Dr. Cullen has taught us that ' our first attention should be employed in watching the approach of the disease, and prevent its proceeding to an incurabe state and in persons of consumptive habit, espe- ciay those born of consumptive parents, the slightest symptoms of an approaching consumption at the con sumpve period of life, ought carefully to be attended to-.
