unalloyed pleasure. il is as much under The
control OF medical tyeatmen, as any other
formidable disease; ninety out Of every hun

suffering attending this fearful scourge, which
annually destroys ninety five thousand per.
sons in the United States alone; and correct
calculsiion shows that out OF the present pop
ulstion Of The earth, eighty millions are des-
tined TO fill the consumpilve's grave.
Truly the quiver of death has no arrow so
fatal as Consumption. In all ages il has been
the ereat enemy of life, for il spares neither
age nor sex, but sweeps off alike the brave,

BY the help of that Supreme Being, from
whom comeh every good and perfect gill, |
am enabled 10 offer 10 the afflicted perma-
uent ard speedy cure in Consumption. The
: first cause OF tuberces is from impure
blood and The immedote effect, Produced
by-their disposition in the lungs, is TO prevent
The free admission of air into The air cells,
which causes weakened vitality through
the entire system. Then surely il is more
rational 10 expect grealer good from nedis
cines entering The cavtles of the lungs than
from those administered through the stom-
ach; the patient will always find the lungs
free and the breathing easy after inhaline
remedies. True, inhalation is a local
remedy, nevertheless il acts coDsiiluhonally,
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 sensibiliiy in few min

that limb may be ampulaled without the

gas will destroy life 10 few hours.

in the blood. A convincing proof of the
constitutional effects of inhalation, is the fact
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 produce the most happy resulls2 Du-
ring eighteen years practice, many thous-
ands, suffering from diseases of the lungs
and throat, have been under my care, and
have affected many remarkable cures, even
after the sufferers had been pronounced in
the Iasi stages, which fully satisfies me that
consumption is no longer fatal disease
MY treatment Of consumption is original, and
founded on long experience and thorough
investigation. My perfect acquaintance with
the nature 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 ia
connection with certain pathological and mi
