Great Discoaery IN SWgey.-An arii.
Gle has appeared IN the New York Express,
by which i, seems there is some hope that
the Consumption may be cured by surgical
means. The surgeon who makes this CON.

afiecled) 10 the following manner; An 10.
cislon Is made between the ribs, an orlice
opened TO admit the air into the chest out.
side Of the diseased lung-so that no air
will be drawn into that lung through the
wlndppe at all. The lung will collapse and
remain perfectly qnlescent, and IN that state
can be cured by the efforts of nature alone,
or removed altogether. As there IS par
iltion between the sides Of the lungs, while
one OF them ceases its action, tho other
goes on with It's ordinary functions. The
operation is neither difficult nor painful, and
may be performed upon person in the last
stages Of consumption, without danger--as
person IN that state would bear the ope.
ration better than one IN robust health
The plan appears to be feasible, from the
very fact that nature does sometimes effect
a cure by the very same process drying
up one lung and it is Tho only method by
which cure is ever effected. If this plan
succeeds il will be the greatest discovery
10 the art Of healing, in modern times.
