Lungs and Throat, by the Inhalation of cold
Medicated Vapors.
Card to COnSumptive 1nvaIids.
THE attention of consumptive invalids is
called to the system of medical treatment intro
duced at this institution, and now being employed in
the cure and the various diseases of the Lungs
and Throat, and also to the success attending it.
During the past years nearly two thousand cases
of Consumption in its different stages have been treat
ed with the most successful results, fact that claims
the method here employed your candid cousidera
ton. ...
| The SYSTEM OF MEDICAL TREATMENT PRESENTED YOU
CONSISTS ESSENTIALLY IN THE INTRODUCTION MEDcA-
TED vAPoRs INTO THE LUNGS, WHILE NO MEDICINES ARE
INTO THE STOM ACE, THAT BEING PRESERVED
FOR FooD, AND NOT PnYsIc. 81.
The only method heretofore employed for the cure
pulmonary diseases has been directly the of
this, medicines being 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
men in this country and in Europe. . l
cannot be denied that the old practice is false in
theory and fatal in its effects, and that any coDsump
tive person wlive longer and suffer less by discard
ing it altogether.
The various medcalvapors here used, are admins
tered by means of fine spunge, moistened with the
liquid, to be irhaled and placed in small glassgobe
with an elastic tube attached, and the air drawn
through the sponge enters the lungs the natural tenn
peratu charged with the vapor used. The inhaler
Is convenient and the method differs widely from the
old plan of inhaling medicines from hot water, which
was years since thrown aside by its advocates, as
worthless. ...G :. ..F.
Consumption, Bronchitis, Asthma, etc., are each
treated by remedies appropriate to the character and
stage of the disease as 1t appears. %
Diseases of the Throat and Catarrh are readily cured
by local applications, made by means of Showerng
Syer Syrenges, which have Invented, and which can
be used by patients with ease and safety. A.,
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
of treating diseases of the Lungs, many permanent
cures of Consumption have been Effected and In every
Instance markedbenent has been derived To the
sumptive Invalid, this system offers the only chance of
cure; and II will seldom disappont the most sauguine
hopes, If fully tried. .rs.+-- --i" a. .
