pensable Tor the restoration of health. To be
able to state confidently that Consumption is
curable Sy inhalation, is 10 me source of
unaloyed pleasure. II is as much under the
control Of medical treatment as any other
formidable disease; ninety out of every hum
dred cases eau be cured in the first stages,
and fifty per cent. in the second; but 10 the
third stage il is impossible TO save more than
five per cent, for the lungs are so cut up by
the disease as TO bid defiance 10 medical
skill. Even, however, in the last stages, in.
halaton affords extraordinary relief 10 the
suffering attending this fearful scourge, which
annually destroys ninety five thousand per-
sons in the United States alone; and correct
calculslion shows that out of The present pop
ulation of the earth, eighty millions are des-
tined 10 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 il spares neither
age nor sex, but sweeps off alike the brave,
the beautiful, The graceful, and lhe gifted
By the help of that Supreme Being, from
whom comelh every good and perfect gift,
am enabled TO offer TO the afflicted perma-
nent ard 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 prevent

which causes weakened Vitality through
the entire system. Then surely il is more
rational 10 expect greater good from m.edi,
cines entering The caviues of the lungs than
from those administered through the stom-
ach; The patient will always find the lungs
free and the breathing easy after inhalng
remedies. Thus, inhalation is a local
remedy, nevertheless il acts constilu,Ionaly.
and with more power and certainty than rem
edies administered by the stomach. To prove
the powerful and direct influence OF this
mode OF administration, chloroform inhaled
will entirely destroy sensiblity 10 a few min
u!es, paralyZing the entire nervous system, so
that limb may be amputaied without the
slightest pain; inhaling the ordinary burning
gas will destroy life in q few hours.
The inhalation of ammonia will rouse the

in the blood A convincing proof of the
constitutional effects OF inhalation, is the fac,
that sickness is always produced by breath
ing foul air. Is not this positive evidence
that proper remedies, carefully prepared and
judiciously Administered through ihe lungs,
should produces the most happy results? Du-
ring eighteen years. practice, many thous-
ands, suffering from diseases of the lungs

have affected many remarkable cures, even

investigation. My perfect acquaintance with
the nature OF tubercles, &C., enables me Il

the proper remedies rarely being mistaken
even in single case. This familiarity il
