| The unprecedented success which has attended
this method of treating diseases Of the Lungs ano
Throat, has induced US to depart from our usua
course, and avail ourselves of the columns OF the
press in order to bring it to the knowledge OF such
as may be laboring under predisposed to such at

The dawn of brighter day has at length arrived
for the Consumpve; the doctrine OF the lneurahlnty

The inhaling method is soothing, safe and speedy,
and consists in the administration of medicine in such
a manner that they are conveyed into the lungs IN
the form of vapor, and produce their action at The
