TEN, giving that tone and energy SO nd;s-
pensable for the restorative OF health. To be
able TO state confidently that Consumption is
chrable by inhalation, is TO me source of

control oil medical tseatmeut ae ory other
formidable disease; ninety out of every hun.
dred cases can be cured in the first stages,
and fifty per cent. in the secoEd; but in The
third stage il is impossible 10 save more than
five per cent, for The lupes are SO cut up by
the disease as to bid defiance 10 medical
skill. Even, however, in the last stages, in.
halation affords extraordinary relief 10 the
suffering attending this fearful scourge, which
annually destroys ninety five thousand per.
sons in the United States alone; and a correct
calculation shows that out of the present pop
ulaion of The earth, eighty millions are des-
.ined TO fill the consnmpuve's grave.
Truly the culver of death has no arrow so
fatal as Consumption. In all ages ii 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 perlec, gift, |
am enabled 10 offer 10 the afflicted pcrma-
nent ard speedy cure in Consumption. The
first canse OF tubetcles is from impure
blood and The immediate effect, produced
by their disposition 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 il is more
ratiopal 10 expect greater good from m.edi,
cines entering the cavines of the lungs than
| from those administered through the siom-
| ach; the patient will always find the lungs
free and the breathing easy after inhaling
remedies. True, inhalation is a local
remedy, nevertheless it acts conslitutIonally.
and with more power and certainty than rem
