DR.. HARDMAN treats Consumption! Bronchitis
Asthma, Larry and all diseases of the throat an6
Lungs by Medicated Inhalation The great point in the
treatment of all Human maadies is to get at the dis
ease in direct manner. All medicines are estimated
by their action upon the organ requiring relief TVS
Is the important fact upon which Inhalation Is based
1.-THE stomach is diseased, take medicine directly
into the stomach. Ifthe lungs discussed, breathe
inhale medcated yapors directly into the lungs. Tn
reason why consumption and other diseases OF the
lungs have heretofore resisted all treatment has been
because they have been appEoac cked in direct
manner by medicine. They were intended to act upor
the diseased lungs and yet were applied to the soT
ach Their action was intended to be local, andI o
they were so admin tered, that they could only action
stitutionaly, spending their immediate action upor
the unofendng stom ach, whilst hc foul ulcers within
tho lungs were unabated!
INHALATION brings the medicine In direct contact
with the disease, without the disadvantage Of any vo
lent action. Its application Is SO simple, it may be
used BY the youngest infanta feeblest invalid
docs notderange the stomach or interfere In the least
with the strength, comfort and business ofte patient.
