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 neu-
tralzes the tubercular matter aays the cough causes
free and easy expectoration heals the lungs puri-
es the blood, mparts renewed vitality to the ner-
vous system, giving that tone and energy so inds-
pensable for the restoration of health TO be able to
state confidently that Consumption is durable by in
halahon Is TO me source of unalloyed pleasure 1t
is as much under the control of medical treatment
as any other formidable diseases ninety out of every
hundred cases can be cured in the first stages and
hfty per cent in the second; but in the third stage
tbe pws % save more than ye per cent tor
ance to medical skill- Even, however, in the last
stages, Inhalation affords extraordinary relief to the
suffering attending this feafu scourge which
ally destroys ninety-fve thousand persons in the
United States alone; and correct 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 arrow SO 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
fnl and the gifted By the help of that Supreme
Being from whom cometh every good and perfect
and speedy cure in Consumption. The first cause of
tubercles 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
system. Then surely it is 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 nhaling remedies. Thus, In
halation is local remedy, nevertheless it acts con-
shtutonally and with more power and certainty than
remedies administered by the stomach To prove
the powerful and direct influence of this mode of ad-
ministration, chloroform inhaled will entirely destroy
sensibility in a few minutes paralyzing the entire
nervous system, SO that limb may be amputated
without the slightest pain inhang the ordinary
burning gas will destroy life in few hours.
The inhalation of ammonia will rouse the system
when faintng or apparently dead. The odor of many
Of the medicines is perceptible in the skin few
minutes alter 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>shoud 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, and have effected many
remarkable cures, even after the sufferers had been
pronounced in the last stages, which fully satisfies
me that consumption is no longer fatal disease. My
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,
ables TO relieve the lungs from the effects of con-
rcted chests to enlarge the chest purify the blood
mpart to 1t renewed vitality giving energy and tone
to the entire system. I'D. ..''.. .
Medicines with full directions sent to any part Of
the United States and Canadas by patients commu-
nicatng 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 cure could be effected
without my seeing the patient again. All letters
asking advice must contain a postage stamp.
