The unprecedented success which has attended
this method of treating diseases OF the Lungs ana
Throat, has induced to depart from our usual
course, and avail ourselves OF the columns OF Inc
press in order to bring it to the knowledge OF such
as may be laboring under predlsposed to such al

The dawn of brighter day has at length arrived
for the Consumptiye the doctrine OF the lncurablLy
