IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.
CONSUMPTION
tg AND ALL bt ttg1@
Diseases of the Lungs and Throat
ARE POSITIVELY
DURABLE BY INHALATION,

~
Which CONVEYS the remedies TO the cavities
I in the lungs through the air passages, and
coming in direct contact with the disease,
ne uiralizes the tubercular matter, allays the
cough, causes u free and easy expectoration,
heals the lungs, purifes the blood, lmParts
renewed vitality TO the nervous system, CIV
ing that tone and energy so indispensable Tor
the restoration of health. To lie able to state
confidently that Consumption is durable by
inhalation, is to me source OF unalloyed
pleasure 1t is 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 fifty per
cent in the second; but in the third stage II
is impossible to save more ihan FIVE per cent.
for the Lungs are so cut up by the disease as
to bid defiance to medical skill. Even, how
ever, in the last stages, Inhalation affords ex-
traosIinary relief TO The suffering attending
this fearful scourge, which annually destroys
ninety-five thousand persons in the United
States alone; and a correct calculation shows
that OF the present population of the earth,
eighty millions are destined TO fill the con-
sumptive's graves e 90
Truly the quiver Of death has no arrow so
fatal as Consumption. In all ages il has been
the great enemy of lie, for it spares neither
age nor sex, but sweeps off alike the brave,
the bea utiful, the graceful and the gifted. 3!
the help of that Supreme Being from whom
cometh every good and perfect gift, am en-
abled to offer TO the afflicted permanent and
speedy cure in Consumption. The firs, cause
of tuberclcs is from impure blood, and the I'M
mediate effect produced by their deposition
in the lungs is to prevent the free admission
of air into the air cells, which causes wea-
kened vitality through the entire system
Then surely it is more rational TO expeci
greater good from medicines entering the
cavities Of the lungs than from those admin
is,ered through the stomach; the patient Will
always find the lungs free and the breathing
easy, utter lnhaling remedies. Thus, lnha-
halatioD is local remedy, nevertheless IT acts
constitutionally, and with more power and
certainty than remedies administered by The
stomach. To prove the powerful and direct
influence of this mode of administration, chic
rofoTm inhaled will entirely destroy senslbll-
| ity in few minutes, para yzlng the entire
nervous system, so thata lluib may be aInpu-
tated without the slightest pam; inhaling the
ordinary burning gas will destroy life in a
few hours.
| The inhalation Of ammonia will rouse The
system when taintlng or apparently dead
] The odor of many of the medicines is percep-
tlble in the skin few minutes after being IN
hailed, and may be immediately detected III
the blood, A convincing proof OF the constI-
tutional effects Of inha lation, is the fact thai
sickness is always produced by breathing iou
airs not this positive evidence that propel
remedies, carefully prepared and judciousl,
administered through the lungs should pro-
duce the happiest results! During eighteen
years practice, many thousands suffering
| from diseases of the lungs and throat, have
been under my care, and | have effected many
remarkable cures, even after the sufferers
have been pronounced in the last stages
which fully satisfies me that consumption Ia
no longer fatal disease. My treatment o
consumption is original, and founded on long
experience aud thorough investigation. My
perfect acquaintance with the nature ttuber
cles, &C., enables me to distinguish, readily
the various forms ofdisease that simulate con
sumption, and apply the proper remedies, rare
| lybeing mistaken even III single case. Iht
| familiarity in connection with certain patho
! logical and microscopic discoveries, enable;
me to relieve the lungs from the effects o
contracted chests, 10 enlarge the chest, puri
| fy the blood, impart to it 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 pa
tients communicating their symptoms by let
ter. But the cure would be more certain i
the patient should pay me visit, which
would give me an opportunity TO examine the
lungs and enable me to prescribe with muci
greater certainty, and then the cure could h'
effected without my seeing the patient again
