eIDRoNCHITIs, LARNYGITIs,

~ treated by the inhalation Of Medcated Vapors
q Powders; by absorption & constitutional treat
ment, as Practised at tho Stuyvescant Medical
Institute, New York City. Diseases of the heart
and Liver, Female Complaints, Dyspepsia, Ven
ereal affections, and Chronic Diseases generally
will receive the attention of the Physicians to
whom such case may have been especially en-
trusted. s
The Unprecedented success which has attend
cd this method of treating diseases of tho lungs
and throat, has induced us to depart from our
usual course, and avail ourselves OF the columns
OF the Press in order to bring it the nowlcdge
OF such as may be laboring under, or predspos-
ed to such affections. The dawn of n brighter
day has at length arrived for the Consumptve
the doctrine OF the incurability Of Consumption
having at length passed away. We have ndu-
bItable proofs in our possession that
Consumption in all Stages can be Cured.
In the first, by tubercular absorption; in the
second by the transformation of tubcrcule into
chaiky and caicareous concretions in the third
up creatures, or scars. Those welded to the
opinions OF the past, may assert that even now
Consumption is incurablc such are behind tho
age. To all, this great truth must be apparent,
VIZ: that the medicines inhaled in the form Of
Vapor and Powder, directly into the lungs must
be much moro effectual than that taken into tho
stomach, where the disease does not exist.
The advantages of Inhalation in consumption
and Throat Diseases is, that medicine in the form
OF Vapor are applied directly to the lungs whore
the disease exists; the stomach is thus left free
to aid in restoring health by administern M to it
healthy, life-giving food. There is no case SO
hopeless that Inhalation cannot reachl Tho
means TOO are brought within the range Of all;
'he manner OF administering il being so simple
that the patient is never required to leave home,
where tho hand of friendship or affection tend
SO much to aid tho physicians efforts.
The inhaling method is soothing, safe and
speedy and consists in the administration Of
medicines in such manner that they are con-
veyedt to the lungs in the form ofyapor, and pro-
duce their action at the seat of the disease. Its
practical success is destined to revolutionize tho
opinions of the medical world, and establish tho
entire durability Of Consumption.
earnestly appeal to the common sense of all
afflicted with lung diseases, to embrace at once
tho advantages of inhalation place amongst
the priceless gifts that nature and art hath given
us that 'our days may be long in the land and
as the only
ARK OF REFUGE

rational, but simple. safe and elicacious.

working wonders in many desperate cases; in
verify, single triumph Of our art over this oll
destroyer Of our species. ,
