CONSUMPTION,

AND ALL DISEASES OF THE LUNGS
IA ard THTOAT are positively curable by

lem, giving that tone and energy so inds-
| pensable for The restorative of health. To be
able to state confidently that Consumption is
curabe by Inhalation, is to me a source OF
| unalloyed pleasure. Ii is as much under tho
| control of medical treatment as any other
| formidable disease; ninety out OF every hun
| dred cases eau be cured in The first stages,
and fifty per cent. in the second; but in the
third stage il is impossible 10 save more than
| five per cent, for the lungs are so cut up by
the disease as TO bid defiance TO 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.
sous in the United States alone; and a correct
calculation shows that out of the present pop
ulalion of the earth, eighty millions are des-
lined TO fill the consumpuve's grave.
Truly the quiver 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,
the beautiful, The graceful, and The gifted
BY the help OF that Supreme Being, from
whom cometh every good and periec, gift,

the free admission of air into the air cells,
which causes u weakened vitality through

rational TO expect greater good from medis
cines entering the caviues of the lungs than
from those administered through the slom-
ach; the patient will always find the lungs
free and the breathing easy after inhaing
remedies. True, inhalation is a local
remedy, nevertheless it acts constiutIoEally,
and with more power and certainty than REM

that proper remedies, carefully prepared and

have affected many remarkable cures, even
