WHICH CONVEYS THE REMEDIES TO THE
caylties IN the lungs through the air passages,
and coming IN direct contact with the disease neu.
trazes the ubercuar matter allays the cough
free and easy expecoraon, heals the lungs puri-
les the blood, imparts renewed vitality to the ner-
yous system, giving that tone and energy so indis-
pensaDe ior the restoration of health To be able to
state conndenuy that Consumption is curabe by in
haation, is to me source of unaoyed pleasure. II
Is as much under the control of medical treatment
as any other formidable disease ninety out of every
hundred cases can be cured in the first stages and
my per cent IN the second; but in the third stage
It Is impossible to save more than five per cent for
the Lungs are so cut up by the disease to bid de-
iancc to medical skill--Eveu however, in the last
stages, Inhalation affords extraordinary relief TO the
suffering attending this feau scourge which annll-
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 Consumptye's grave.
Truly the culver of death has no arrow 80 fatal as
Consumption. In all ages it has been the great
enemy of life, for it spares neither age nor sex, but
sweeps of alike the brave, the beautiful the grace
f9l and the gifted. By the help of that Supreme
gift am enabled to offer to the afflicted permanent
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
which causes weakened vitality through the entire
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 inhaling remedies Thus, In
halatlon is local remedy, nevertheless it acts con-
stitutonay, and with more power and certaintythan
remedies administered by the stomach. To prove
the powerful and direct influence of this mode of ad-
mnstration chloroform inhaled will entirely destroy
sensibility in few minutes paralyzing the entire
nervous system, so that a limb may be amputated
without the slightest pain; inhaling the ordinary
burning gas will destroy life in n few hours.
The inhalation of ammonia will rouse the system
when fainting or apparently dead The odor of many
OF the medicines is perceptible in the skin few
minutes alter being inhaled, and may be immediate
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 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, aud 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 a 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,
abes me to relieve the lungs from the effects of con-
tracted chests to enlarge the chest purify the blood
impart to 1T renewed vitality giving energy and tone
to the entire system. H..
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
a visit which would give an opportunity to examine
the lungs, and enable me TO prescribe with much
greater certainty and then the could be effected
without my seeing the patient again. All letters
asking advice must contain postage stamp.
