pensable for the restorative of health. To be
able TO state confidently ,ha, Consumption lie
curable Sy inhalation, is TO me source Of
unalloyed pleasure. Ii is as much under the
control OF medical treatment as any other
formidable disease; ninety out OF every hun
dred cases eau be cured in the first s.ages,
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 to bid defiance 10 medical
skill. Even, however, in the last stages, in.
halation affords extraordinary relief TO the
sufferins attending this fearful sccurse, which
annually destroys ninety five thousand per.
SONS in the United States alone; and correct
calculation shows that ou, OF the present pop
ua,iou of the earth, eighty millions are des-
lined to fill the consumpuve's grave.
Truly the quiver of death has no arrow go
fatal as Consumption. In ell ages il has been
the great enemy of life, for il spares neither
age nor sex, but sweeps off alike the brave,

By the help of that Supreme Being, from

am enabled 10 offer 10 the afflicted perma-
men, ard speedy cure in Consumption. The
frs, cause Of tubercles is from impure
blood. and the immediate effect, produced
by their disposition in the lungs, is 10 prevent
the free admission of air into the air cells,
which causes a weakened vitality through
The entire system. Then surely il is more
rational 10 expect greater good from medis
cines entering the caviues OF the lungs than
from those administered through the siom-
ach; the patient will always find the lungs
free and the breathing easy after inhaling
remedies. True, Inhalation is a local
remedy, nevertheless ii acts const,unonally,
and with more power aud certainty than rem
edies administered by The stomach. To prove
