tenn, giving that tone and energy 90 ind;s-
pensable Tor the restorative OF health. To be
able 10 state confidently that Consumption is
ctrable Sy inhalation, is 10 me a source of
nnalloyed pleasure. IL is a. much under the
control OF medical ivealment as any other
formidable disease; ninety ont of every hun
dfed cases can be cured 10 the first stages,
and 6fy per cent. in the secoGd; but in the
third Stage il is impossible 10 save more than
five per cent, for The lungs are so cut up By
the disease as TO bid defiance 10 medical
skill. Even, however, 10 the last stages, in
halation affords extraordinary relief TO the
sufierins attending this fearful seourge, which
annually destroys ninety five thousand per-
sons in The United States alone; and correct
calcuistiou shows that out of the present pop
uIsiion Of the eanb, eighty millions are des-
tined 10 fill The consumpnve's grave.
Truly the quiver Of death has no arrow 80
fatal as Consumption. In all ages il has been
the great enemy of life, for il spares neither
age nor sex, but sweeps of alike The brave,
the beautiful, The graceful, and the gifted
By the help of that Supreme Being, from
whom comelb every good and perfect gift,
am enabled 10 offer TO the afflicted perma-
nent ard speedy cure in Consumption. The
first cause of tubeTcles is from impure
blood. and the imfhediaie effect, produced
by their disposition in the lunss, is to prevent
the free admission of air into the air cells,
which causes a weakened vitality through
the entire system. Then surely il is more
rational TO expect greater good from mediss
cines entering the cayiiies of the lungs than
from those administered through the stom-
ach; the patient will always find the lungs
free and the breathing easy after inbaling
remedies. True, inhalation is a local
remedy, nevertheless il acts consiituiionally,
and with more power and certainty than rem
edies administered by the stomach. To prove
the powerful and direct influence OF this
mode OF administration, chloroform inhaled
will entirely destroy seusibIity in few Min
u!es, paralyzing The entire nervous system, so
that limb may be ampuiaied without the
slightest pain; inhaling the ordinary burning
gas will destroy life in few hours.
The inhalation OF ammonia will rouse the
system when faintng OF apparently dead
The odor of many OF the medicines is per-
ceptible in the skin few minutes after being
inhaled, and may be Immediately detected
in The blood. A convincing proof Of the
constitutional effects OF Inhalation, is tne fac.
that sickness is always produced by breath
ing foul air. Is not this positive evidence
that proper remedies, carefully prepared and
iudiciously administered through The lungs,
should p.oducs The most happy results? Du-
ring eighteen years practice, many ihous-
ands, suffering from diseases of the lungs
ard throat, have been under my care, and
have affected many remarkable cures, even
aiier the sufferers had been pronounced in
the last stages, which fully satisfies me that
consumption is no longer fatal disease
My treatment of consumption Is original, and
founded OIL long experience aud thorough
investigation. My perfect acquaintance with
the Dalure of tubercles, &c, enables me 10
distinguish readily the various forms of dis
ease that simulate consumption, and apply
the proper remedies rarely being mistaken
even in a single case. This familiarity in
connection with certain Pathological and mi
croscopc discoveries, enables me 10 relieve
the lungs from tue q effert- OF cousr.csed chests;
