iWHCH CONVEYS THE REMEDIES TO THE

yous system, giving that tone and energy so inds-
pensable for the restoration of health. To be able to
state confidently that Consumption Is durable by In
haiat0n Is 70 me source OF unalloyed pleasure It
10 as much under the control of medical treatment
as any other formidable disease ninety out Of every
hundred cases can be cured in the first stages and
hty per cent ia the second but in the third stage
It Is Impossible 10 save more than five per cent for
the Lungs are so cut up by the disease as to bid de-
fance " medical. skill Eyen however, in the last
stages, inhalation Affords extraordinary relief TO the
suffering attending this feaul scourge which annu-
ally destroys ninety-6ve thousand persons in the
United ktates alone; and correct calculation shows

millions are destined 10 I'LL the Consumpdves grave.
Truly the culver OF death has no arrow fatal as
Consumption In all ages it has been the great
enemy OF life for spares neither age nor sex, but
sweeps of alike the brave, the beautiful the grace
full and the gifted. By the help Of that Supreme
being from whom cometh every good and perfect
gift am enabled TO offer to the afflicted permanent
and speedy cure in Consumption. The first cause of
tubercles is from impure blood, and the immediate
effect produced by their deposition in the lungs is to
prevent the free admission of air into the air cells,
which causes q weakened vitality through the entire
system. Then surely it is more rational to expect
good medicines entering the cavities of the lungs
than from those administered through the stomach;
the patient wiil always find the lungs free and the
breathing easy, after nhaling remedies Thus In
haation is local remedy, nevertheless it acts con-
shtutonally and with more power and certainty than
remedies administered by The stomach To prove
the powerful and direct influence of this mode Of ad
mlnstratlon chloroform inhaled will entirely destroy
sensibility in a few minutes paralyzing the entire
nervous system, 80 that q limb may be amputated
without the slightest pain; inhaling the ordinary
burning gas will destroy life in a few hours. !
The Inhalation of ammonia will rouse the system
when fanting or apparently dead. The odor of many
OF the medicines Is percePtible in the skin few
minutes alter being inhaled, and may be Immediate
ly detected in the blood A convincing proof OF the
constitutional effects Of inhalation is the fact that
sickness is always produced by breathing fom air.
is this not positive evidence that proper remedies
carefully prepared and judciously administered
through the lungs should produce the happiest re-
suits During eighteen years practice many thou
sands suffering from diseases of the lungs and throat
have been under my care, aud have effected many
remarkable cures, even after the sufferers had been
pronounced in the last stages, which fully satisfies
me that consumption is no longer fatal disease My
treatment OF consumption is original, and founded
on long experience and thorough investigation
My perfect acquaintance with the nature OF tuberces
DC, enables me to distinguish, readily, the various
forms OF dlseise that simulate consumption, and ap-
plying proper remedies rarely being mistaken even
in single This familiarity in connection with
certain pathological and microscopic discoveries en-
abes me to relieve the lungs from the effects Of con-
racted chests, to enlarge the chest purify the blood
impart to 1t renewed vitality giving energy and tone
to the entire system.
Medicines with full directions sent to any part of
the United States and Canadas by patients commu-
ncating their symptoms by letter But the cure
would be more certain if the patient should pay me
q visit which would give an opportunity 10 examine
the lungs, and enable me 10 prescribe with much
greater certainty and then the cure could be effected
wlthout my seeing the patient again All letters
