Inhalation in Consumption,

DRONCHITlS, Laryngitis, and other diseases Of
inhalation Of Medical Vapors and Powders by abSOrpt
ion and constitutional treatment, aspractised at the
Stuyvesant Medical Institute, Network City.
The unprecedeRted 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 may be aborng
under, or predisposed to such affections. The dawn
of brighter day has arrived for the Consumptive 1.-The
doctrine Of the ncurabity Of Consumption having at
length passed away. We have indu bitable proofs in
our possession, that Consumption in all ats stages,
ea"6e cnred!-n the rst by tubercular absorptions;
in the secoId by the Transformation OF tubercule into
chalky and calcareous in the third by cica
trices Those welded to the opinions of the
past may assert, that even 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 effecual 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 Of va
por are applied directly to the lungs, where the dis
exists thestomach is thus left free to aid in res
oring by administering to it healthy, life-giving
food. There IS no ease so hopeless that inhalation
0tH 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 homo, where the hand of friendship
and affection tends much to aid the physicians
efforts.
The inhaing method is soothing, safe, 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 is destined
to revolutionize the opinions Of the medical world,
and establish the entire cura6tlttN of Consumption.
1 earnestly appeal to the common sense Of all af
Aicted with lung Diseases to embrace at once the aa
vantages Of Inhalation; and no longer apply medi-
cines to the unofendiDg stomach claim for in
haaon place among the priceless gifts that nature
and art hath given us, that sour days may belong
