Card to COnSumptiveI Invalids.
| THE attention of consump,ive invalids is
l. called to the system Of medical treatment intro
duced at this institution, and now being employed in
the cure and recfo the various diseases Of the Lungs
and Throat, and also to the success attending it.
During the past years nearly two thousand cases
of sumption in its different stages been treat
cd with the successful results, fact that claims
for the method here employed your candid considera-
tion.
| TIE SYSTEM OF MEDICAL TREATMENT PRESENTED YoU
CONSISTS ESSENTIALLY INTRODUCTION OF MEDICA-
TED vAPoRs INTO THE LUNss, WHILE NO MEDICINES
GIVEN INTO THE STOMACH THAT BEING PRESERVED
FOR FooD, AND NOT PHYsrc.
The only method heretofore employed for the cure
pulmonary diseases, has been directly the reverse of
this, medicines peing introduced into the stomach and
not into the Lungs. By this treatment Consumption
has not been cured, its mortality lessened; and it
is now being abandoned by many prominent medical
IN en- in this country and in Europe.
1t cannot be denied that the old practice Is false in
theory and fatal in its Effects aud that any consump
tive person wlive longer and suffer less by discard
ing II altogether.
The various medical vapors here uscd are admins
tered by means Of fine spunge, molstened with the
liquid, to be irhaled and placed in small gassglobe,
with an. elastic tube attached, and the air drawn
through the sponge enters the lungs at the natural tenn
perature, charged with the vapor used The 1haler
is enicnt and the method differs widely from the
old PLAN of iuhang medicines from hot water, which
years since thrown aside by its advocates, us
worthless.
ConsumptOn. Bronchitis, Asthma, ctc., are each
treated by remedies appropriate to the character nd
stage Of the disease as il appears.
Disc of The Throat and Catarrh readily cured
by local applications, maze by means of Showering
(Silvcr Syrenges, which have invented and which can
be used by patients with ease and safety. IS
BY this treatment, which is now being adopted by
many physicians in different parts the country, and
by them acknowledged to be the only correct method
oftreating diseases of the Lungs, many permanent
Of Consumption have been Effected, and In very
instance marked benefit has been derived. To the con-
sumptive invalid this system oTcrsthe only chance oi
cure; and It viii seldom disappnnt the most sauguine
hopes, if fully tried. tnr
