IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.
CONUMPTI ON
AND ALL
DISEASES or THE LUNGS AND THROAT
ARE POSITIVELY
CURABLE BY INHALATION.

CURABLE BY INHALATION.
NHICH conveys the remedies to the caTi-
w ties in the lungs through the air passa-
ges, and coming in direct contact with the
disease, neutraliZes the tubcrcular matter, al
lays the cough, causes free and easy expec-
toration, heals the lungs, purities the blood,
imparts renewed vitality to the nervous system
giving that tone and energy SO indispensable
for the restoration of health. To be able to
state confidently that Consumption is curable
by Inhalation, is to me a source of unalloved
pleasure. 1t is as much under the control of
medical treatment as any other formidable
disease; ninety out of every hundred cases
can be cured in the first stages, and ffty per
cent. in the second but in the third stage il
Is impossible to save more than five per cent.
for the Lungs are so cut up by the disease as
To bid dehazce to medical skill. Even, how
ever, in the last stages, Inhalation affords ex-
jraordinary relief TO the suffering attending
this fearful scourge, which annually destroys
ninety-fye thousand persons in the United
States alone and correct calculation shows
that OF the present population of the earth.
eighty millions are destined TO ill the Con-
sunpuycs graves.
Truly the qUiyer of death has no arrow so
fatal as Consumption. In all ages it has been
the great enemy OF life, for it spares neither
age nor .eX, but sweeps off alike the brave
ths beautiful, the graceful and the gifted By
the help Of that Supreme Being from whom
cometh every good and perfect gift, | am en-
aLblcd to offer 20 the afflicted q permanent
and speedy cure in Consumption. The first
cause of tubercles is from impure blood, and
the immediate effect produced by their depo-
sition in the lungs is TO prevent the free ad-
mission of air into the air cells which causes
a weakened vitality through the entire system.
Then surely il is more rational TO expect great
er good from medicines, entering the cavities
Of the lungs than from those administered
through the stomach; the patient will always
find the lungs free and the breathing easy af-
ter Inhalng remedies. Thus, Inhalation is
local remedy, nevertheless it acts constitutions
ally, and with more power and certainty than
remedies administered by the stomach To
prove the powerful and direct Influence Of this
this mode of administration. chloroform
/ inhaled will entirely destroy sensiblity in q
few minutes, paralyzing the entire nervous
system, so that limb may be amputated with
out the slightest pain; Inhaling the ordinary
burning gas will des:S"v life in few hours
The inhalation of ammonia will rouse the
system when tainting or apparently dead. The
odor Of Inany of the medicines is pcrceptible
in the skin a few minutes after being inhaled.
and may be Immediately detected in the blood
A convincing proof of the constitutional effects
OF Inhalation, is the fact that sickness is al
ways produced by breathing foul air--is not
this positive evidence that proper remedies
carefully prepared and judiciously admins
tered through the lungs should produce the
happiest results? During eighteen years
practice many thousands suffering from dis
eases Of Inc lungs and throat, have been un-
der my care, and have effected many remark
able cures, even after the sufferers had been
pronounced in the last stages, which fully sat-
isles me that consumption is no longer a fatal
| disease. Ny treatment Of consumption is
original, and founded on long experience and
q thorough Investigation Ny perfect acquain-
tance with the nature of tubercles &c, cna-
bles me to distinguish, readily, the various
forms of disease that simulate consumption.
and apply the proper remedies, rarely being
mistaken even in a single case. This famil-
iarity, in connection with certain pathological
and microscopic discoveries, enables mo TO re-
lieve the lungs from the effects of contracted
chests, TO enlarge the chest purity the blood,
impart TO it renewed vitality, giving energy
and tone to the entire system.
Medicines with full directions ssut TO anv
part of the United States and Canadas by pa
tlentS communicating their symptoms by letter
But the cure would be more certain if the
patient should pay me visit, which would
give me an opportunity to examine the lungs
and enable me to prescribe with much greater
certainty, and then the cure could be effected
without my seeing the patient again.
