Diseases OF tho Throat
successfully cured, by lnhaling Cold Medicated
Vapors.
| hR. ANDREW STONE, Physician to the Tro,
- Lung Institute, inventor of tho celebrated
PULAohETER or Lung Tester, and editor of tn,
"lnvalid's Oracle" is treating with astonishing
success all diseases Of the Lungs. the Throat and
heart, Asthma, Bronchitis, Laryngitis, and Tu.
bercular Consumption, with his new discovered
system Of Cold Medicated Vapors,-which are
breathed directly into the Lungs and the seat OF
disclose.
This discovery 10 based upon true scientific prin-
ciples, The vspors are so prepared and composed
as to dissolve tubercular matter in the Lungs and
cause it to be expectorated, at the same time it
traverses every minute air tube and cell. and ul-
cerated cavern in the Lungs, causing them to heal,
quieting the cough, subduing the night sweats the
hectic fever and chills
Consumption, that all prevailing disease, which
is now carrying one hundred thousand annually in
the United States, to premature grave and
which hangs the black pail over so many families,
oiights so many young hearts and blasts SO many
prospects,-is now as durable in ny hands under
my system of treatment, as any other disease, if
adopted in any prudent season, before the vital
energies of the constitution are too far de-
pressed.
The Old School doctrine, that Consumption j.
lncurable, has caused the death of thousands -
No wonder this has been the case, when they as
saiieu the patient by bleeding, bllstering, vomt-
ing, making Setons and Tarter Sores and pouring
Calomel, Anthony, Blue pill, and nauseating and
deblltating drugs into the stomach. They SOC de-
molished what little strength he did possess
In my treatment no drugs are given into the
stomach, thu appetite is guarded with scrupulous
care,-a due portion Of animal food, the most nu-
trltious diet, and exercise in the open airthe
necessity of breathing pure air day and night, is
strictly enjoined
The great advantages of my system of inhala-
ton is-that patients can just as well be treated
at. home, when it is not convenient to come to the
Institution. by sending them the Vapors, with an
inhaler for their use-on receiving full history
Of their case, stating, nnH~eiy, the symptoms,
age and sex.
Spacious and convenient rooms furnished in the |
best manner, with the best of board, can at all |
times be obtained in the institution, by those com.
ing from abroad for treatment.
Packages ofVapors-with all the treatment aud
inhaler, with both written and printed advice for
1 three months course, s25,-for one month, SIS.
The PuLNoNETER made use of, ia arriving at
he true condition Of the Lungs surpasses all con-
eption for its utility, showing to each patient the
accurate amount of air taken into the Lungs and
he progress made by inhaling in increasing the
'ital capacity. Without this very ingeniously
constructed instrument, no one can with any de
rec of certainty understand the true conditioned
he Lungs. ANDREW STONE. NJ. D.,
