The unprecedented success which has attend
ed 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 il to the kno
OF such as may be laboring under, or predspos-
cd to such affections. The dawn ola brighter
day has at length arrived for the Consumptiye I;
the doctrine of the ncurability OF Consuln nj n
having at length passed away. We have ndu-
bitable proofs in our possession that 5al SIS. 81
Consumption in all Stages can be Cured.
In tho first, by tubercular absorption; in the
SECOND by the transformation of tubercule into
chalky and calcarcous connections; in the third
bP Creatures, or scars. Those welded to the
opinions OF the past, may assert that even now
Consumption is incurable ; such are behind the
age. To all, this great truth must DO apparent,
VIZ: that the medicines INHALED in the form Of
Y
be much moro eiIectual than that taken into the
Stomach, where the disease docs not exist.
Inc advantages orInhaation in consumption
and Throat Diseases is, that IN edcine in the form
OF Fapor areapPsied directly to the lungs where
tho disease exists; the stomach is thus left free
to aid in restoring health by administer ng to it
healthy, liie-giving food. There is no case so
hopeless that Inhalation cannot reach! Tho
means too are brought within the range Of all |;
the manner of adj administering it being so simple
m id mr. fat
where the hand OF friendship affection tend
30 much TO aid the physicians efforts.
The inhaling method is soothing, safe and
speedy and consists in the administration Of
medicines in such manner that they are con
veyed 10 the lungs in the form ofyapor, and pro-
duce their action at the seat of tho disease. Its
practical success is destined to reyolutionize tho
opinions of the medical world, and establish the
entire durability OF Consumption.
earnestly appeal to the common sense Of all
anicted with lung diseases, to embrace at once
the advantages of inhalation a place amongst
the priceless. gins that nature and art hath given
us that 'our days may be long in the land, , and
as the only
ARK OF REFUGE
TO THE CoNsUMpTIvE. A method not only
rational, but simple. safe and eiicacous.
Such of the profession that have adopted in
halatoD, have found il eficacious in the highest
degree, arrestng tho progress of the disease and
working wonders in many desperate cases; in
verify, single triumph OF our art over this Tell
destroyer of our species. t
