CONSUMPTION, BRONCHITIS, LARYNGITIS,
u And other Diseases of the Chest and Throat, sue
cessfuy treated by the Inhalation of Medcated Va
pors and Powders by absorption and constitutional
treatment AS practlced at the StuyVesant Medical
Institute, New York City.
The unprecedented success which has attended
this method of treating diseases of the Lungs and
Throat, has induced to depart from our usual
course, and avail ourselves of the columns of the
press in order to bring it to the knowledge of such
as may be laborng under, predisposed to such at
fections.
The dawn of a brighter day has at length arrived
for the Consumptve; the doctrine of the incurabity
OF Consumption having at length passed away. We
have indubitable proofs in possession THAT Con-
SUMPTION IN ALL STAGES CAN ouRED in the first,
