Truly the culver Of death has no arrow so fatal
Consumption. In all ages il has been the great
enemy Of life for it spares neither age nor sex, but
sweeps oil alike the brave, the beautiful the grace
tul and the gifted. By the help of that Supreme
Beng from whom cemeth every good and perfect

| and speedy cure in Consumption The first cause of
tuberces 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,
which causes weakened vitality through the entire
ysten. 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 inhaling remedies. Thus In
haaton is local remedy, nevertheless it acts con-
sttutlonaly and with more power and certainty than
remedies administered by the stomach To prove
the powerful and direct influence of this mode of ad
ministraton, chloroform inhaled will entirely destroy
sensbillty in a few minutes, parayzing the entire
nervous system, so that II limb may be amputated
without the slightest pain; inhaling the ordinary
burning gas will destroy Iife in a few hours ''@
The inhalation Of ammonia will rouse the system
when fainting or apparently dead The odor of many
OF the medicines is perce ptible in the skin few
minutes after being inhaled, and may be Immediate
ly detected in the blood A convincing proof Of the
constitutional effects of inhaation is the fact that
sickness Is always produced by breathing foul air.
is this not positive evidence that proper remedies,
carefully prepared and judciously administered
through the lungs should 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, aad have ELECTED many
remarkable cures 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 oil tubercles
&c, enables me to distinguish readily, the various
forms OF disease that simulate consumption and APP
plying proper remedies, rarely being mistaken even
IN single case. This familiarity, in connection with
certain pathological and microscopic discoveries, en-
abies me to relieve the lungs from the effects of
tracted chests to enlarge the chest purify the blood

Medicines with full directions sent TO any part of
the United States and Canadas by patients oommu-
nicating their symptoms by letter But the cure
would be more certain if the patient should pay me
q ylslt which would give an opportunity to examine
the lungs, aud enable me 10 prescribe with much
greater certainty and then the cure could be effected
without my seeing the patient again. All letters
