curable Sy inhalation, is TO me source of
unalloyed pleasure. Ii is as much nnder The
control Of medical treatment as any other
formidable disease; ninety out Of every hun
dfed cases can be cured in the first stages,
aud fif,y per cent. in the second; but in The
third stage it is Impossible 10 save nre.e shau
five per cent, for The lungs are so culpp by
the disease as TO bid defiance to medical
skill Even, however, in the last stages, in.
halsion affords extraordinary relief 10 the
suffering attending this fearful scourge, which
annually destroys ninety five Thousand per-
sous in The United States alone; and scorreet
calculation shows that out OF the present pop
ulaIon Of the earth, eighty millions are des-
.iued 10 fill the consnmpuve's grave.
Truly the quiyer 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 The giiled.-

FIRST canse OF tubcrcles is from impure
blood. and the immediate effect, Produced
by their disposition in the lungs, is 10 prevent
the free admission of air into the dir cells,
which causes a weakened vitality through
the entire system. Then surely it y more
rational 10 expect grsuleT good frorn uedi;
cines tering the cavines of the lungs than
from those administered through the s;om-
ach; the patient will always find the lungs
free and the breathing easy after inhaing
remedies. True, inhalation is a local
remedy, nevertheless il acts conslilulonally,
and with more power and certainty than rem
edies administered by the stomach. To prove
the powerful and direc! influence oil this
mode OF administration, chloroform Inhaled
will entirely destroy sensibiliiy in few min
