INHALATION
IN C0NSU NJ PTI0N

BRONCHITIS Laryngytis, and other diseas
Des of the Chest and Throat successfully treat
ed by the inhalation Of Medicated vapors anC
Powders by absorption and constitutional treat
ment, as practsed at the "StuyVesan Mcdlca
Institute New York city.
The unprecedented success which has ATTENDED
! this method of treating diseases, Of the Lung
and Throat, has induced US to part from our u
sua course in order to bring IL to the knowledge
of such as may be laboriug under or prcdlsPos
ed &c such affections.
The dawn of brighter day has at length ar
rived for the consumplive. The doctrine OF
the incurability Of Consumption has at length
passed away. We have indubltable proofs III
our possession, that Consumption IN all It's sta
ges can be cured; IN the first, by tu6ercmd az
Sorptton in the second by Transformation Of tt
bercuLe into Chaiky and CaLCGreouS concrettonS III
the third, by cicatrieeS scars. Those welded
to the past, may assert that even now Consump-
ton is incurable; such are behind the age. 10
all this, great truth must be apparent, viz
that medicines inhaled in the form of yapor or
Ponder directly into the Lungs must be more eff
ieCtual than that taken into 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 it
healthy Iifc-giving food. There is no case so
hopeless that inhalation lCiH not reach .: The
means, too are brought within reach of all, 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 Iuhaating method is soothing safe and
speedy, and consists in the administration Of med
cnes in such 4 manner that they are conveyed
into the lungs in the form of Napor and produce
their action at the seat of the disease. Its prac-
teal success is destined to rcvolutonizc the
opinions Of the medical world and establish the
ntirs caraJSity Of Consumption.
Icarnestly appeal to the common sense of
all afflicted with lung diseases, to embrace at
once The advantage Of lDhaIatlan; and no Ion
ger apply medicines to the unoituding stomach.
| claim for Inhalation place among the price
less gifts nature aud art hath given Us, that "our
days may be long il thoIand," and is the only
Ark Of Refuge for the COnSumptiVe.
A method not only rational but simple and egi-
CaCiOuS.
Such of the profession that have adopted In
halaton, have found it cGicacjors in The highest
degree, a,resting The progress Of disease and cork
ing lCOndcrS IN many desperate cases, In verify
triumph of our art over this fell destryer Of our
species.
