tenn, giving that lone and energy so inds-
pensabIe for the restorative OF heaiih. To be
able to state confidently that Consumption is
chrable by inhalation, is 10 me source of
unalloyed pleasure. II is az much under the
control OF medical tyeatment as any other
formidable disease; ninety out Of every hun
dred cases can be cured in The first stages,
anc fifty per cent. in the second; but in the
third Stage il is impossible 10 save more than
five per cent, for The lupes are SO cut up By
the disease as 10 bid defiance 10 medical
skill. Even, however, 10 the last stages, in.
haIstion affords extraordinary relief TO the
suffering attending this fearful scourge, which
annually destroys ninety five thousand per-
sons in the United States alone; and correct
calculation shows that out of the present pop
ulation Of the earth, eighty milliens are des-
tined 10 fill The consumpilve's grave.
Truly the quiver Of death has 10 arrow go
fatal as Consumption. In all ages il has been
the great enemy of life, for ii spares neither
age nor sex, but sweeps off alike the brave,
the beautiful, the graceful, and the gified.--
BY the help Of that Supreme Being, from
whom comelh every good and perfect gift, !
am enabled 10 offer TO the afflicted perma-
nent ard speedy cure in Consumption. The
first cause of tnbefcles is from impure
blood. and the immediate effect, produced
by their disposition in the lungs, is 10 prevent
the free admission of air into the air cells,
which causes weakened vitality through
the entire system. Then surely il is more
rational TO expect greater good from medis
cines entering the caviues of the lungs than
from those administered through the sIom-
ach; The patient will always find the lungs
free and the breathing easy after inhaling
remedies. True, inhalation is local
remedy, nevertheless il acts constuhohally,
and with more power and certainly than rem
edies administered by the stomach. To prove
the powerful and direct influence OF this
mode of administration, chloroform inhaled
will entirely destroy scnsibllity 10 few min
Mas, paraly zing the entire nervous system, so
that a limb may be ampnialed without the
slightest pain; inhallng the ordinary burning
gas will destroy lille in a lew hours.
The inhalation OF ammonia will rouse the

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 the fac,
that sickness is always produced by BREATH
ing foul air. Is not this positive evidence
that proper remedies, carefully prepared and
iudiciously administered Though the lungs,
should produce the most happy results? 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 lasi stages, which fully satisfies me that
consumption is no longer a fatal disease
MY ireaimen, Of consumption ls original, and
founded on long experiences and thorough
investigation. My perfect acquaintance with
the nature of ,uberces, &C., enables me 10
distinguish readily the various forms of dis
ease thai simulate consumption, and apply
the properIemedies rarely being mistaken
even i'm single case. This familiarity in
connection with certain pathological and mi
croscopic discoveries, enables me 10 relieve
the lungs from the effects Of contracted chests;
10 enlarge the chest, purify the blood, impari
TO II renewed vitality, giving energy and tone
10 The entire system.
