Card 10 COnSumptiVeI Invalids.
THE attention of consumptive invalids is
i called to the system Of medical treatment intro
duced at this instuton, aud now being employed In
the cure and relief of the various diseases Of the Lungs
and Throat, and also to the success attending it.
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 candid considera
ton. -'a
THE SYSTEM OF MEDICAL TREATMENT PRESENTED YOU
CONSISTS ESSENTIALLY THE INTRODUCTION OF MEDcA-
TED yApoRs INTO THE LUNGS, WHILE NO MEDICINES ARE
GIVEN INTO THE SToMAcH, ORGAN BEING PRESERVED
FOR FooD, AND NOT PnVsIc.
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. Bythis treatment Consumption
has not been cured norits mortality lcsscned and 1t
is now bcing abandoned by many prominent medical
men in this country andin Europe.
Itcannotbe 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 medicalvapors here used, are admins
cred by means of fine spunge, moistened with the
liquid, to be inhaled and placed in small glassglobe
with IN elastic tube attached, and the air drawn
through the sponge enters the the
perature, charged with the vapor used. The inhaler
sconvenent, and the method differs widely from the
old plan of inhaling medicines from hot water which
was wears since thrown aside by its advocates, as
worthless. -
Consumption, Bronchitis, Asthma, etc., are each
treated by remedies appropriate to the character and
| stage of the disease as it appears.
Diseases of the Throat and Catarrh readily cured
by local applications, made by means of Showering
(siver syrengcs which have invented and which car
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
of treating diseases of the Lungs, many permanent
cures of pton have been effected, and In every
instance marked benefit has been derived. 10 the con-
sumptiye invalid, this system offers the only chance o.
eure and It will seldom dsappont the most sauguind
hopes, if fully tried.
1t is better that invads bo seen, and examined per-
sonay, but when they cannot bear the fatigue and ex
pense ofa visit to the city, by writing full history

and remedies as ifunder Patients thus
treated are charged $15 per month for all necessary
remedies and weekly advice, paid invariably in ad-
