DISEASES Of the LUNGS and THROAT
CURED BY INHALATION.

CURED BY INHALATION.
WHICH CONVEYS THE REMEDIES TO THE
cavities in the lungs, through the air passages,
and coming in direct contact with the disease, neu-
tralzes the tubercular matter aays the cough causes
free and easy expectoration heals the lungs, puri-
fes the blood, imparts renewed vitality to the ner-
vous system giving that tone and energy 50 indis-
pensable for the restoration of health. TO be able to
state confidently that Consumption is durable by in
haaton, is to me source of unaloyed pleasure. 1t
is as much under the control Of medical treatment
any other formidable disease ninety out Of every
hundred cases can be cured in the first stages, and
fifty per cent In the second; but in the third stage
It y impossible TO save more than five per cent for

stages Inhalation affords extraordinary relief to the
suffering attending this feafn scourge, which annu-
ally destroys nnety-fye thousand persons in the
United States alone and correct calculation shows
that Of the present population Of the earth, eighty
millions are destined to fill the Consumptiye's grave
Truly the quiver Of death has arrow so fatal as
Consumption. In all ages it has been the great
enemy Of life for it spares neither age nor SEX but
sweeps OF alike the brave the beautiful the grace
full and the gifted. BY the help of that Supreme
| Being from whom cometh every good and perfect
gift am enabled to offer to the afflicted permanent
| and speedy cure in Consumption. The first cause Of
tubercles IS from impure blood, and the immediate
effect produced by their deposition in the lungs is to
prevent the free admission of air into the air cells
which causes weakened vitality through the entire
| ystem Then surely it is more rational to expect
good from medicines entering the cavities of the lungs
than from those administered through the stomach
the patient will always find the lungs free and the
breathing easy, after inhaling remedies Thus, IN
halaton y local remedy, nevertheless it acts con-
stitutionaly and with more power and certainty than
remedies administered by the stomach Top
the powerful and direct influence of this mode of adj
ministration, choroform inhaled will entirely destroy
sensioilty in few minutes, parayzing the entire
nervous system, so that a limb may be amputatcd

burning gas will destroy life in few hours
The inhalation of ammonia will rouse the SYSTEM
when fainting or apparently dead. The odor of many
minutes after being inhaled and may be Be @ sw
ly detected in the blood convincing proof OF the
constitutional effects of inhalation is the fact that
sickness is always produced by breathing foul air
is this , not positive evidence that proper remedies
| through the lungs should produce the happest re-
suits During eighteen years practice many thou
sands suffering from diseases of the lungs and throat
have been under my care, aud have effected many
remarkable cures even after the sufferers had been
pronounced in the last stages, which fully satisfies
me that consumption is no longer fatal disease. My
treatment OF consumption is original, and founded
on long experience and thorough investigation.
My perfect acquaintance with the nature OF tubercles
DC, enables me to distinguish, readily, the various
forms of disease that simulate consumption, and APP
plying proper remedies, rarely being mistaken even
in single case. This familiarity, in connection with
ceIan PainoioBicai anu microscopic discoveries, en-
abes me to relieve the lungs from the effects of
tracted chests to enlarge the chest purify the blood
impart to 1t renewed vitality giving energy and tone
to the entire system.
Medicines with full directions sent TO any part of
the United States and Canadas by patients commu-
nicating their symptoms by letter But the cure
would be certain if the patient should pay me
visit which would give an opportunity to examine
the lungs, and enable me 10 prescribe with much
81 eater certainty, and then the could be effected
without my seeing the patient again. All letters
asking advice must contain postage stamp.
