Inhalation in Consumption,

TDRONCHITlS Laryngitis, and other diseases Of
- the Chest and Throat, successfully treaedby the
inhalation of Medical Vapors and Powders by a6sorp
ion and consttntomal treatment, aspractsed at the
Stuyvesant Medical Institute, NewYork City.
The unpreeedented success which has attended this
method of treating diseases of the Lungs and Throat
has induced to depart from usual course, and
avail ourselves Of the columns of the Press in order
bring it to the knowledge of such as may be aborng
under, or predisposed to such affections. The dawn
Of brighter day has arrived for the ConsumPye tine
doctrine OF the incurabty Of Consumption having at
length passed away. We have indubitabe proofs in
our possession, that Consumption, IN all ats stages
canbc eured!-in the first by tubercular absorptons
in the secoLd by the transformation OF tubercue into
chalky and calcareous in the third by cca
trces or scars Those welded to the opinions Of the
past may assert, that now, Consumption is in
durable; such are behind the age To ALL this great
truth must be apparent, viz that the medicine in
hailed in the form Of Vapor Powder, directly into
the Lungs, must be effectua than that taken in
to the Stomach, where the disease does not exist
The advantage of inhalation in Consumption and
Throat Diseases is that medicines in the form va
por applied directly to the lungs, where the dis
exists hestomach is thus left free to aid in res
'oring by administering to it healthy, lfe-giving
food There IS no case so hopeless that limitation
aciH not reach! The means, too, are brought with
in the reach Of all, the manner Of administering the
Vapors being simple that the invalid is never re-
quired to leave home, where the hand Of friendship
and affection tends much to aid the ply sican's
efforts
The inhaling method is soothing, safs and spec
Dr. and consists in the administration OF medicines IN
such manner that they conveyed into the lungs
in the form of vapor and produce their action at the
seat OF the disease Its practical success is destined
to reyolutonize the opinions of the medical world,
and establish tie entire durability Of Consumption.
earnestly appeal to the common sense OF all al
ficted with lung diseases to embrace at once the aa
vantages of Inhalation; and no longer apply medi-
cines to the unofendipg stomach. I claim for in
halation place among the priceless gifts that nature
and art hath given US, that sour days may belong
in the land, ," and the only ARK OF REFUGE
FOR THE CONS UMPTIVE; a method not only
rational, but simple, safe anil e6fcacioas.
Such of the profession that have adopted Inhalation
have found it e0fcacious IN Tie highest degree, ar
resting the progress ofthe disease, and tcorking
acondsrs IN many desperate cases. Inverity, sig
nal triumph Of our art over this fell destroyer Of our
species.
