INHALATION
IN CONSU NJ PTION


BRONCHITIS Laryngytis, and other diseas
Des of the Chest and Throat successfully treat
ed by the Inhalation Of Medicated vapors and
Powders by absorption and constitutional treat
ment, as practised at the "Stuyvesant Medical
Institute" New York city.
The unprecedented success which has attended
this method Of treating diseases, Of the Lungs
and Throat, has induced US to part from our u
sual course in order to bring it to the knowledge
Of such as may be laborng under or predspos-
ed tc such affections.
The dawn of a brighter day has al length ar
rived for the consumptye. The doctrine oil
the incurability of Consumption has at length
passed away We have indubitable proofs III
our possession, that Consumption in all ITS sta
yes can be cured; IN the first, by tubercuIG ab
Sorpfion in the second by Transformation Of tn
berctIe into chaiky and calcareouS corrections II
the third, by cicatrieeS or sears. Those weddeo
to the past, may assert that even now Consump'
ton is ucurable; such are behind the age. Ic
all this, great truth must be apparent, viz
that medicines inhaled in the form of vapor OF
Ponder directly into the Lungs must be more ct.
fcctual than that taken into the stomach, where
the disease does not exist.
The advantage of Inhalation in Consumption
and Throat Diseases is, the stomach is thus left
free 10 aid in restoring by, administering to II
healthy lile-giving food. There is no case SO
hopeless that inhalation 1ciH not reach The
means, too are brought within reach of all, the
manner of administering the yapors being SO
simple that the invalid is never required 10
leave home, where the hand of friendship and
affection tends so much TO aid the physician S
efforts.
The Mhaating method is soothing safe and
Spccdu and consists in the administration Of med
cnes in such q manner that they are conveyed
into the lungs in the form of Napor and produce
their action at the seat of the disease. Its praC-
teal success is destined to rcvoutiOnIZe the
opinions of the medical world and establish the
entire carabsIity Of Consumption.
Earnestly appeal to the common sense of
all afflicted with lung diseases, TO embrace at
once the advantage of lnhalatian; and no Ion
ger apply medicines to the unot!ending stomach.
| claim for Inhalation place among the price
less Gifts nature and art hath given US, that "our
days may be long in tho land" and is the only
Ark Of Refuge for the COnSmptiVe.
A method not only rational bit simple and Ell
raciOuS.
Such Of the profession that have adopted In
haa,ion, have found it e6icaciors in the highest
degree, atreSting the progress Of disease and cork
ing ,ronders in many desperate cases, in verify a
triumph of our art over this fell destryer of our
species.
