Truly the quiyerof death has no arrow so fatal as
Consumption. In all ages it has been the great
enemy OF life for II spares neither age nor SEX but
sweeps on alike the brave, the beautiful, the grace
~ III and the gifted. BY the help Of that Supreme
gift am enabled to oterto the afflicted permanent
and speedy cure IN Consumption, The first cause of
tnbercles IS from impure blood and the immediate
effect produced by their deposition in the lungs is to
prevent the free admission Of air into the air cells,
which causes weakened vitality through tie entire
iystem. Then surely tits more rational to expect
good from medicines entering the cavities of the lungs
than from those administered through the stomach
tne patient will always find the lungs free and the
haatlon IS local remedy, nevertheless it acts con-
stutionallv and with more power and certainty tha an
remedies adHlinistered BY the stomach. To prove
the powerful and direct influence Of this mode Of adj
minstraon, choroform inhaled will entirely destroy
senslpility in few minutes paralyziDg the entire
nervous system, so that Q limb may beamputated
without the slightest pain; inhaling the ordinary
burning gas will destroy life in few hours36 tssi
Ihe inhalation OF ammonia will rouse the system
when fantng or apparently dead.. The odor Of many
OF the medicines is percsptible in the skin a few
minutes alter being inhaled, and may be Immediate
detected m the blood convincing proof 81 the
sickness is always produced by breathing foul air.
Is this not positive evidence that proper remedies
carefully prepared and judiciously administered
through the lungs should produce the happiest re-
sands, suffering from diseases Of the lungs and throat
have been under my care, and have effected many
remarkable cures, even after the sufferers had been
pronounced In the last stages, which fully satisfies
me thai consumption is no longer fatal disease. My
treatment Of consumption is original and founded
on long experience aud a thorough investigation
Ny perfect acquaintance with the nature OF tuberces
&c. enables me to distinguish, readily, the various
forms OF disease that simulate consumption, and ap-
plying proper remedies, rarely being mistaken even
in single case. This familiarity, In connection with
certain pathological and microscopic discoveries en-
ables me to relieve the lungs from the effects of con-
racted chests to enlarge the chest purify the blood
lmpart TO At renewed vitality giving energy and tone
to the entire system
Medicines with full directions sent to any part Of
the United States and CAnadas by patients comuiu-
nlcating their symptoms by letter But the cure
visit which would give an opportunity to examine
the lungs, and enable me TO prescribe with much
eater certainty, and then The cure could be effected
without my seeing the patient again. An letters
asking advice must contain postage stamp.
