able 10 state confidently that Consumption is

unalloyed pleasure. II is az much under The
control OF medical treatment as any other

third stage il is impossible 10 save mors than

the disease as to bid defiance TO medical
skill. Even, however, iu the last stages, in.
halation affords extraordinary relief 10 tho
sufferins attending this fearful scourge, which
annuslly destroys ninety five Thousand per-

calculation shows ,ha, ou, Of the present pop

Truly the quiver Of death has no arrow so
fatal as Consumption, In all ages it has been
the great enemy OF life, Tor il spares neither

BY the help of that Supreme Being, from
whom cometh every good and perfect gift,
am enabled TO offer TO the sfiloted perma-
nent ard 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 10 prevent
the free admission Of cir into the cir cells,
which causes a weakened vitality through
the entire system. Then surely il is more
rational TO expect greater good rom medis
cines entering the cavines of the lungs than
from those administered through the siom-
ach; the patient will always tind the lnngs
remedies. Thus, inhalation Is a local
remedy, nevertheless il acts constilutonally,
and with more power and certainty than rem
edies administered by The stomach. To prove
the powerful aud direct influence oil this
mode of administration, chloroform inhaled
will entirely destroy seusib,lity in few min.

The inhalation of ammonia will ronse the

The odor OF many OF the medicines is per-
cep,ible in the skin a few minutes after being
inhaled, and may be immediately detected

constitutional effects OF inhalation, is the fact
that sickness is always produced by breath

that proper remedies, carefully prepared and

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 iubercles, Sc, enables me 10
distineuis readily the vario0s forms Of dis
ease that simulate consumption, and apply
the proper remedies rarely being mistaken
even in a single case. This familiarity in
connection with certain pathological and mi
croscopic discoveries, enables me 10 relieve
the lungs from the effects of contracted chests;
10 enlarge the chest, purify the blood, impart
