IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.
CONSUMPTION
OF the LUNGS and THROAT
CURED BY INHALATION.

CURED BY INHALATION.
WHICH CONVEYS THE REMEDIES TO THE
cavities in the lungs, through the air passages,
and coming in direct contact with the disease
razes the tubercular matter alays the cough
free and easy expectoration, heals the lungs puri
Ties the blood imparts renewed vitality to the ner-
y0us system, giving that tone and energy so indis-
pensable for the restoration of health To be able TO
state confidently that Consumption is durable by in
haation, is To source of unalloyed pleasure 1t
is as much under the control of medical treatment
as any other formidable disease ninety out of every
hundred cases can be cured in the first stages and
fifty per cent in the second but in the third stage
is impossible to save more than five per cent for
the Lungs are SO cut up by the disease to bid de-
iance to medical skill.-Even, however, in the last
stages, Inhalation affords extraordinary relief To the
suffering attending this feaful scourge, which annu-
ally destroys ninety-ive Thousand persons in the
United States alone; and acurrect calculation shows
that of the present population Of the EARTH eighty
millions are destined TO fill the Consumptves grave.
Truly the culver of death has no arrow 30 fatal as
Consumption. In all ages it has been the great
enemy OF LIFE for it spares neither age nor sex, but
sweeps Oft alike the brave, the beautiful the grace
full and the gifted. By the help of that Supreme
Being from whom cometh every good and perfect
gift am enabled to offer to the afflicted permanent
and speedy cure in Consumption. The first cause of
tuberces is from impure blood, and the immediate
effect produced by their deposition in the lungs is to
prevent the free admission of air into the air cells
which causes weakened vitality through the entire
ystem. Then surely tbs more rational to expect
good from medicines entering the cavities of the lungs
than from those administered through the stomach
the patient will always find the lungs free and the
breathing easy, after inhaling remedies. Thus, In
haaton is local remedy, nevertheless it acts con-
sttuticnay and with more power and certainty than
remedies administered by the stomach. To prove
the powerful and direct influence Of this mode Of ad
minisration chloroform inhaled will entirely destroy
sensbilty in few minutes paralyzng the entire
nervous system, 50 that q limb may be amputated
without the slightest pain nhaling the ordinary
burning gas will destroy, life in a few hours.
The inhalation Of ammonia will rouse the system
when fainting or apparently dead. The odor of many
Of the medicines is perceptble in the skin few
minutes after being inhaled, and may be immediate
ly detected in the blood. A convincing proof Of the
constitutional effects of inhalation, is the fact that
sickness is always produced by breathing foul air
is this not positive evidence that proper remedies
carefully prepared and judiciously administered
through the lungs should produce the happiest re-
SUITS During eighteen years practice many thou
sands suffering from diseases of the lungs and throat
have been under my care, aud have effected many
remarkable cures after the sufferers had been
pronounced in the last stages which fully satisfies
me that consumption is no longer fatal disease NV
treatment Of consumption is original, and founded
on long experience and thorough investigation
My perfect acquaintance with the nature OF tubercles
&C., enables me to distinguish, readily, the various
forms OF disease that simulate consumption, and ap-
plying proper remedies, rarely being mistaken even
in single case. This familiarity in connection with
certain pathological and microscopic discoveries en-
abes me to relieve the lungs from the effects of con-
tracted chests to enlarge the chest purify the blood
impart to 1t renewed vitality giving energy and tone
TO the entire system
Medicines with fun directions sent to any part of
the United States and Canadas by patients commu-
nicating their symptoms by letter But the cure
would be more certain if the patient should pay me
visit which would give an opportunity to examine
the lungs and enable ME 10 prescribe with much
greater certainty and then the could be effected
without my seeing the patient again. ALI letters
asking advice must contain postage stamp.
