CONSUMPTION,

pensable for the restoration of health. To be
able to state confdebily that Consumption is
cbrable oy inhalation, is to me source of
unaoyed pleasure. II is a. much under the
control Of medical treatment as atty ,ther
formidable disease; ninety out OF every huu-
dred casee can be cured in The first stages,
and fifty per cent. in the second; but in the
third stage il is impossible TO save more Than
five per cent, for The lnpas are so cut up by
the disease as 10 bid defiance 10 medical
skill Even, however, in the last stages, in.
halaton affords extraordinary relei 10 the
suffering attending This fearful scourge, which
annually destroys ninety five thousand per-
sons in the Uuited States alone; aud correct
calculation shows that out Of The present pop
ulation of the earth, eighty millions are des-
.ined TO fill The consump,Ive's grave.
Trnly The euiver 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,

BY the help of that Supreme Being, from
whom cometh every good and perfect gift,
am enabled to offer to the afflicted u perma-
nent ard speedy cure in Consumption. The
first cause OF tubercles is from impure
blood aud The immediate effect produced
by their deposition 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 it is more
rational 10 expect greater good from medi
eines entering The caviIes of the lungs Than
from those administered through The slom-

remedy, nevertheless it=acts constituionally,
and with more power and certainty Than rem

that proper remedies, carefully prepared and

ring eighteen years practice, MANY lhous-
auds, suffering from diseases of the lungs
aud throat, have been under my care, aud |
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 latai disease
My treatment of consumption Is original, and
founded on long experience and thorough
investigation. My perfect acquaintance with
the nature of uhercIes, &c, enables me to
distinguish readily the various forms of dis
ease that simulate consumption, and apply
the proper remedies rarely being mistaken
even in single case. This familiarity in
connection with certain pathological and mi

effected without my seeing the patient again.
