tenn, giving that tone and energy so ind:s-
pensable for the restorative OF health. To be
able to state confidently that Consumption is
curable by inhalation, is TO me source OF
unalloyed pleasure. II is as much under the
control OF medical treatment as any other
formidable disease; ninety out of every hun
dred cases eau be cured in the first stages,
and 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
rklll. Even, however, in the last stages, in
halation affords extraordinary relief TO 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
ulsion of The earth, eighty millions are des-
tined TO fill the consumpuve's grave.
Truly the quiver of death has no arrow so
fatal as Consumption. In all ages il has been
the great enemy of life, for ii spares neither
age nor sex, bu, sweeps off alike the brave,
the beautiful, the graceful, and The gifted
By the help of that Supreme Being, from
whom cometh every good and perfect gift, |
am enabled 10 offer 10 the afflicted perma-
hent ard speedy cure in Consumption. The
frs, cause OF tubercles is from impure
blood and the immediate effect, produced
by their disposition in the lungs, is TO prevent
the free admission oil air into The air cells,
which causes a weakened vitality through
The entire system. Then surely il is more
rational 10 expect greater good from nedis
cines entering The cavities of the lungs than
t,om those administered through the slom-
acb: The patient will always find the lungs
free and The breathing easy after inhaling
remedies. True, inhalation is local
remedy. nevertheless il acts consliiuiioGally,
and with more power and certainty than rem

the powerful and direct influence oi this
mode of administration, chloroorm inhaled

tha, proper remedies, carefully prepared and

have affected many remarkable cures, even
