Inhalation i'm Consumption,

DR0NCHITlS, Laryngitis, and other diseases OF
inhalation of Medical Vapors and Powders by a6sorpt-
ion and constitutional treatment aspractised at the
Stuyvesant Medical Institute, NewYork City.
The mnprecedented 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 the knowledge of such may be aboring
under or predisposed to such affections. The dawn
of brighter day has arrived for the Consumptiye 1.-The
doctrine Of the incurabity of Consumption having at
length passed away. We have indubitable proofs in
our possession, that Consumption, IN all ats stages,
eanbe cared,-in the frs by tubercuar absorptions;
in the second by the transformation Of tubercue into
and calcareous in the third by cica
trces or scars Those welded to the opinions Of the
past may assert, that now, Consumption is in
curable such are behind the age. To all, this great
truth must be apparent, viz that the medicine in.
hailed in the form Of Vapor or Powder, directly into
the Lungs must be more efectual than that taken in

| The advantage of inhalation in Consumption and
Throat Diseases is that medicines in the form Of va
Dor are applied directly to the lungs where the dis

Vapors being simple that the invalid is never re-
quired to leave home, where the hand of friendship

such manner that they conveyed into the lungs

seat Of the disease Its practical success is destined
to revolutionize the opinions Of the medical world,
and establish the entire durability of Consumption.
