CONSUMPTION

confidently thai Consumption is curable 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

for the Lungs are so cut up by the disease as
to bid defiance 10 medical skill E,eu, how
ever, in the last stages, inhalation affords ca
raordlnary relief To the suffering attending
his fearful scourge, which annually destroys
unety-tive thousand persons IN the United
States alone; and correct calculation shows
hat OF the present population of the earth,
eighty millions are destined to fill the con-
Sumptve's graves.
Truly the culver of death has no arrow So
fatal as Consumption. In all ages il has been
the great enemy of lite, for it spares neither
age nor sex, but sweeps off alike the brave.
The bea utiful, the graceful and the gifted. 8y
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 first cause
OF tuberclcs Is from impure blood, and the im

Then surely it is more rational TO expect
greater good from medicines entering the
ca"lties of the lungs than from those admin
lsercd through the stomach; the patient will
always fad the lungs free and the breathing
easy, after lnhalng remedies. Thus, lnha-
halatlon is a local remedy, nevertheless 1t 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
roform inhaled will entirely destroy sensibil-
ty IN ii few minutes, ParaIyzIng the entire
nervous system, so thata limb may be aInpu-
tailed without the slightest pam; Inhaling the
ordinary burning gas will destroy life in Il
