The Unprecedented success which has attended
this method of treating diseases of the Lungs and
Throat, has induced us to depart from our usual
course, and avail ourselves Of the columns of the
press in order to bring it to the knowledge OF suc
as may be laborng under rpredisposed to such al
| fections.
The dawn of brighter day has at length arrived
for the Consumptve; the doctrine Of the lncurahlty
of Consumption having at length passed away I" e
have ndubiable proofs in our possession THAT CON

welded to the opinions of the past may assert that
even now, Consumption is incurable, such are be-
hind the age To all this great truth must be appa-
rent viz: that the medicines inhaled IN the torn OF
Vapor or Powder DIRECTLY into the Lungs, must be
much effective than that taken into the stomach,
where the disease does not exist The advantage OF
/ inhalation in Consumption and Throat Diseases is,
that medicines in the form OF yapor are apped Ill
recy to the lungs where the disease exists; the sto-
mach is thus left free to aid in restoring health by
administering to it healthy, life-glyng food There
is NO CASE HOPELESS that inhalation Will not reachl
The means too are brought within the reach OF all,
the manner Of administering the vapors being so sim
ple that the invalid is never required to leave home,
where the hand of friendship and affection tends SO
much to aid the physicians efforts
The inhaling method is soothing, safe and speedy,
and consists in the administration omedicine i'll 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 success is destined
to revolutionise the opinions of the medical world
and establish the entire curGbilty Of Consumption
Earnestly appeal to the common sense OF all al
ticted with lung diseases, to embrace at once the adj
vantages of inhalation, and no longer apply medl-
cine to the unoffending stomach. claim for lnhaa-
