N}H HIGH conveys the remedies 10 the cavi-
w ties IN the lung; through the air passa-
gej, and coming in direct contact with the
disease neutralizes the tubercular matter, al
lays the cough, causes free aud easy exnec-
torstion, heals the lungs, puri6es the blood,
imparts renewed vitality to the nervous system
giving that tone and energy so indispensable
for the restoration of health. To be able TO
state confidently that Consumption is curable
By inhalation, is to me source of unalloyed
pleasure. 1t is as much under the control Of
medical treatment as any other formidable
disease; ninety ont of every hundred cases
can be cured in the first stages, and fifty per
cent. in the second; bat in the third stage il
is impossible to save more than FIVE per cent,
for the Lungs are so cut up by the disease as
to bid defiance 10 medical skill Even, how
ever, in the last stages, Inhalation affords ex-
traordinory relief 10 the suffering attending
this fearful scourge, which annually destroys
aincty-fve thousand persons in the Urited
States alone and q correct calculation shows
that OF the present population of the earth
eighty millions are destined to FIJI the Con-
.umptives graves.
Truly the quiver Of death has no arrow so
fatal as Consumption. In all ages it has been
the great enemy OF life, for it spares neither
age uor SEX but sweeps off alike the brave
tn. beautiful, the graceful and the gifted By
the help Of that Supreme Being fiom whom
cometh every good and perfect gift, am cu-
ahbled TO offer 10 the afflicted a permanent
and speedy cure in Consumption. The iirst
cause Of tuberclcS is from impure blood. and
the immediate effect produced by their depo-
sition in the lungs is to prevent the free ad-
mission of air into the air cells, which causes
weakened vitality through the entire system
Then surely il is more rational to expect greas-
CT good from medicines entering the cavities
OF the lungs tnan from those administered
through the stomach the patient will always
ind the lungs free and the breathing easy, at
ter lnhaling remedies. Thus, Inhalation is a
local remedy, nevertheless it acts constitution
ally, and with more power and certaiuty than
remedies administered by the stomaCn To
prove the powerful and direct influence of this
this mode Of administration, chloroform
inhaled will entirely destroy scnSiblity in q
few minutes, paralyzing the entire nervous
system, SO that limb may be amputatcd with
out the slightest pain Inha!ing the ordinary
burning gas will destroy life in few hours
The inhalation Of ammonia Will rouse the
system when iainting or apparently dead. The
otor OF many OF the medicines is perceptible
III the skin a few minutes after being inhaled.
and may be Immediately detected in the blood.
A convincing proof Of the constitutional effects
OF Inhalation, is the fact that sickness is al
ways produced by breathing foul airs not
this positive evidence that proper remedies,
carefully prepared and judiciously admins
tered through the lungs should produce the
happiest results? During eighteen wears
practice, many thousands suffering from dis
eases of the lungs and throat have been un-
der my care, and have effected many remark
able cures, even after the sufferers had been
pronounced i'll the last stages which fully sat
isles me tha! consumption is no longer a fatal
disease. Ay treatment Of consumption Is
original, and founded on long experience and
thorough Investigation. bly, perfect acquain-
tancc with the nature Of tubercleS. SC, ena-
blcs me to distinguish, readily, the varisus
iorr!S CT disease that simulate consumption,
and apply the proper remedies, rarely being
mistaken even IN single case. This flmil-
iarity, in connection with certain pathological
and microscopic discoveries, enables Inc to re-
EeTe the lungs from the effects of contracted
chests, to enlarge the chest, purify the blood
impart 10 it renewed vitality, giving energy
and tone to the entire system.
Medicines with full directions seut to anY
part Of the United States and Canada5 by pa
uentS communicating their symptoms by letter
But the cure would be more certain if the
patient should pay me visit, which would
give me- an opportunity to examine the lungs
and enable me 10 prescribe with much greater
certainty, and then the cure could he effected
without my seeing the patient again.
