Inhalation in CONSUMPTION,

DR0NCHITlS, Laryngitis, and other diseases OF
- the Chest and Throat successfully treatedby the
inhalation of Medical Yapors and Powders, by absOrpt
ion and constitutional treatment, aspractised at the
Stuyyesant Medical Institute, NewYork City.
The unprecedented success which has attended this
method Of treating diseases of the Lungs and Throat
has induced to depart from usual course, and
avail ourselves of the columns Of the Press in order
to bring it to the knowledge Of such as may be aboring
under, or predisposed to such affections The dawn
of brighter day has arrived for the Consumpye 1.-The
doctrine Of the incurabity of Consumption having at
length passed away. We have indubitable proofs in
our possession, that Consumption, tn all ats stages
canbe cured!-in the first, by ubercular absorptons
in the secord by the transformation OF tubercue into
chaky and calcareous in the third by cea
trces or scars Those welded to the opinions Of the
past may assert, that even 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 effectua than that taken in
to the Stomach, where the disease does not exist
| The advantage of inhalation in Consumption and
Throat Diseases is that medicines in the form va
por applied directly to the lungs, where the dis
exists hestomach is thus left free to aid in res
toring by administering to 1t healthy, hfe-giving
food. There IS no case so hopeless that inhalation
ictH not reach The means, too, are brought with
in the reach Of ALL the manner Of administering the
Vapors being simple, that the invalid is never re-
quired to leave home, where the hand OF friendship
and affection tends much to aid the physicians
efforts
The inhaling method is soothing, safe, and spec
dr. and consists in the administration of medicines in
such manner that they are conveyed into the lungs
in the form of yapor and produce their action at the
seat OF the disease Its practical success is destined
to revolutonize the opinions Of the medical world,
and establish tito entire cnrabtlttn Of ConSnmptton
earnestly appeal to the common sense OF all at
hcted with lung diseases, to embrace at once the aa
vantages of Inhalation; and no longer apply medi-
cines to the unofendipg stomach. l claim for in

oM art hath given US, that sour days may belong

FOR THE CONS UMPTIVE; method not only
