disease, neutraZes the tubercular matter,
alays the cough, causes free and easy ex-
pectoralion, heals the lungs, pur:fies the blood,
impars renewed vitalityio the nervous sys-
lem, giving that tone and energy so ind!s-
pensable for the restorative of health. To be
able 10 state confidently that Consumption is
curable by inhalation, is TO me source of
unaIloyed pleasure. 1t is as much under the
control of medical tyeatment as any other
formidable disease; ninety out of every hum
dred cases can be cured in The first stages,
and fifty per cent. in the second; but in the
third stage il is impossible 10 save more than
five per cent, for The lungs are SO cut up by
The disease as 10 bid defiance 10 medical
skill Even, however, in the last stages, in
halation affords extraordinary relief 10 the
suffering attending this fearful scourge, which
annually destroys ninety five thousand per-
sons in the United States alone; and correct
calculation shows that out of The present pop
ulaion of the earth, eighty millions are des-
.ined to fill the consnmpuve's grave.
Truly The 9uiver of death has no arrow so
fatal as Consumption. In all ayes il has been
the great enemy of life, for il spares neither
age nor sex, but sweeps off alike the brave,
the beautiful, The graceful, and The gifted
By the help of that Supreme Being, from
whom cometh every good and perfect gift, |
am enabled 10 offer 10 the afflicted perma-
nent ard speedy cure in Consumption. The
! first cause of tubercles is from impure
blood. and the immediate effect, produced
by their disposition in the lungs, is to prevent
the free admission of air into The air cells,
which causes weakened vitality through
the entire system. Then surely il is more
rational 10 expect greater good from medis
cnes entering the cavues OF the lungs than
from those administered through the s,om-
ach; the patient will always find the lungs
free and the breathing easy after inhaing
remedies. True, inhalation is local
remedy, nevertheless it acts consttuuonally,
and with more power and certainty than rem-
edies administered by the stomach. To prove
