able TO stale confidently that Consumption is
cufableoy inhalation, is 10 me a source of
unalloyed pleasure. II is as much under the
control OF medical treatment as any other
formidable disease; ninety out of every hun
dred cases can be cured in the FIRST stages,
anG fifty per cent. in The second; but in the
third stage il is impossible 10 save more than
five per cent, for The lungs are so cut up BY
the disease as TO bid defiance 10 medical
skill. Even, however, in the last stages, in.
halation affords extraordinary relief 10 the
suffering attending this fearful scourge, which
annually destroys ninety five thousand per-
sons in the United States alone; and correct
calculation shows tba, out of the present pop
ulaiion of the earth, eighty millions are des-
lined 10 fill the consumpuve's grave.
Truly The quiver of death has no arrow so
fatal as Consumption. In all ages il has been
the great enemy of life, for il spares neither
age nor sex, but sweeps off alike the brave,
the beautiful, The graceful, and The gifted

first capse OF tubeTcles is from impure
blood. and the immediate effect. produced
by their disposition in the mngs, is 10 prevent
the free admission Of air into The air cells,
which causes a weakened vitality through
the entire system. Then surely il is more
rational 10 expect greaer good from medii
cines entering the caviues of the lungs than
from those administered through the slom-
ach; the patient will always find the lungs
free and The breathing easy after inhains

remedy, nevertheless il acts constiiuhonally,
