Card to COnsuImptivcI InvHlids.
THE attention of consumptive invalids is
i called to the system of medical treatment intro
dueed at this institution, and now being employed In
the cure and various diseases OF the Lungs
and Throat, and also to the success attendingit IL.
During the past two years nearly two thousand cases
of consumption in its different stages have been treat
ed with the most successful results, fact that claims
for the method here employed your candid consdera-
ton.
The SYSTEM OF MEDICAL TREATMENT PRESENTED YOU
CONSISTS ESSENTIALLY INTRODUCTION OF MEDIcA-
TED vAPoRs INTO THE LUNGS, WHILE NO MEDICINES ARE
ovrs1Nro THE SToM AoH, THAT ORGAN BEING PRESERVED
FOR FooD, AND NOT PHyslc.
The only method heretofore employed for the cure
of 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 nor its mortality lesscncd and it
is now being abandonedby many prominent medical
men in this country and in Europe.
ltcannot be denied that the old practice is fose in
theory and fatal in its effects, and thatany coDsump-
tive person wiive longer and suffer less by discard
ing it altogether.
The various medical vapors here used, admins
tered by means of fine spunge, moistened with the
liquid, to be inhaled and placed in small glassgobe,
with an elastic tube attached, and the air drawn
through the Sponge enters the lungs at the naturate
perature, charged with the vapor used. The inhaler
is convenient, and the method differs widely from the
old plan Of inhang medicines from hot water, which
was years since thrown aside by its advocates, as
worthless. :.
Consumption, Bronchitis, Asthma, etc., are each
treated by remedies appropriate to the characer and
stage of the disease as it appears.
Disc of the Throat and Catarrh readily cured
by local applications, maze by means of Showering
(Siver) SyTenges, which have invented and which
be used by patients with ease and safety. .. ... ..
BY this treatment, which is now being adopted by
many physicians in different parts of the country, and
by them acknowledged to be the only correct method
oftreatiDg diseases of the Lungs, many permanent
cures of Consumption have been effected, and in every
instance marked benefit has been derived. To the
sumptive invalid this system offers the only chance Of
cure; and it will seldom disappont the most sauguine
hopes, if fully tried.
1t is better that nvalids be seen and examined per-
sonay but when they cannot bear the fatigue and eX-
pcnse of visit to the city, by writing fu! history
