Stuyvesant Medical Institute, NewYork City.
The unpreesaentsd success which has attended this
method of treating diseases of the Lungs and Throat
has induced US to depart from our usual course ana
avail ourselves of the columns of the Press In order
to bring the knowledge of such as may De aoorn
under, or predisposed to such affections. Inc dawn
of brighter day has arrived for the Consumpuve the
doctrine OF the incurabity of Consumption having at
length passed away. We have indubitable proofs In
our possession, that Consumption, az aH aus stages,

in the second by the transformation OF tu6ercule into
chay and concreons IN the thrd by clca-
trices or scars Those welded to the opinions of the
past may assert, that even now. Consumption Is IN
durable; such behind the age. 10 all, TINS great
truth must be apparent, viz that the medicine III
hailed in the form of Vapor or Powder, directly INTO
the Lungs must be more effecual than that taken IN
to the Stomach whore the disease does not exist
The advantage of inhalation in Consumption and
Throat Diseases is that medicines in the form OF va
por are applied directly to the lungs, where the dis
ease exists thesomaeh is thus left free to aid In res
toring by administering to 1t healthy, hfe-giving
food There rs 40 case SO hopeless that Inhalatton

in the reach Of ALL the manner OF administering the
Vapors being so simple, that the invalid IS never re-
auired to leave home where the hand OF frlendshlp
and affection tends so much to aid the physician
efforts.
The 1nnallng metnOu is SOOONtWSi SeJo3 ~SN SPoc

such manner that they conveyed into the lungs
in the form of vapor and produce their action at the
seat OF the disease It's practical success is destined
to revolutonise the opinions Of the medical world,
and establish the satrs cWrabtLttv Of ComSu0pt,on
I earnestly appeal to the common sense OF all al
iced with lung diseases, to embrace at once the al
cantages of Inhalation; and no longer apply medi-
