Des of the Chest and Throat successfully treat
ed by the inhalation of Medicated vaporS and
Powders by absorption and constitutional treat
ment, as practised at the "otuyyesant Medical
Institute" New York city.
The ,nprecedcnted success which has attended
this method of treating diseases, of the Lungs
and Throat, has induced US to part from our u
suaI course in order to bring ii to the knowledge
of such as may be laborng under or Predispcs-
ed tc such affections.
The dawn Of a brighter day has at length ar
rived for the consumpliye. The doctrine Of
the incurabiity Of Consumption has at length
passed away. We have indubitable proofs IN
our possession, that Consumption i'll all us sta
res can be cured; IN the first, by tUbcrCulT ab-
solption in the second By Transformation Of to-
borClle into chalby and caLCareOuS concretl0nS III
the third, by CicdiriceS or scars. lhose Weuucu
to the past, may assert that even now Consump-
ton is incurable; such are behind the age. TO
all this, great truth must be apparent, viz :
that medicines inhaled in the form of vapor or
Porcdlr directly into The Lungs must be more eff
fectua than that taken iuto The stomach, where
the disease does not exist.
The advantage of Inhalation in Consumption
and Throat Diseases is, the stomach is thus left
free to aid in restoring by, administering to 1t
healthy Hfc-giving food. There is no case so
hopeless that inhalation lcU not reach The
means, too, are brought within reach Of ali, the
manner of administering the yapors being so
simple that the invalid is never required to
leave home, where the hand Of friendship and
affection tends so much to aid the physicians
efforts.
The Iuhalating method is soothing safe and
speedy, and consists in the administration of med
lclnes in such n manner that they are conveyed
into the lungs in the form Of ' apOr and produce
their action at the seat of the disease. Its prac-
teal success is destined to reyolutionZe thc
opinions of the medical wcrld and establish the
entire cGrabsiity Of Consumption.
earnestly appeal to the common sense of
all afflicted with lung diseases, to embrace at
once the advantage Of Inhalatian; and 10 Ion
