able to state confidently that Consumption is
curable by inhalation, is 10 me source OF
unalloyed pleasure. II is as much under The
control OF medical treatment as atty 3ther
formidable disease; ninety out OF every hun
dred eases can be cured in The first stages,
anG 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 10 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 correct
calculation shows that out of The present pop
ulation of the earth, eighty millions are dec
tined 10 fill the consumpuve's grave.
Truly the ouiver of deah has no arrow so
fatal as Consumption. In all ayes it has been
the great enemy of life, for il spares neither
age nor sex, bu, sweeps off alike The brave,
the beautiful, The graceful, and The sfled.-
By the help of that Supreme Being, from
whom comelh every good and perfect gift,
am enabled 10 offer 10 the afflicted a perma-
