annually destroys ninety five thousand per-

Truly the quiver of death has no arrow so

Dy the help of that Supreme Being, from
whom cometh every good and perfect gill,
am enabled 10 offer 10 the afflicted perma-

firsl cause Of tubercles is from impure
blood. and the immediate effect, produced
by their disposition in the lungs, is to prevent
the free admission of air into the air cells,
which causes weakened vitality through
the entire system. Then surely il is more
rational 10 expect greater good from Hedit

from those administered through the stom-

free and the breathing easy after inhaline
remedies. True, Inhalation is local
remedy, nevertheless II acts constiiulonally,
and with more power and certainty than rem
edes administered by the stomach. To prove
the powerful and direct influence oil this
mode OF administration, chloroform inhaled

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
iudcously administered through The lungs,
should produce the most happy results? Du-
ring eighteen years practice, many thous-
ands, suffering from diseases of The lungs
and throat, have been under my care, and
have affected many remarkable cures, even

distinguish readily the various forms OF dis
ease that simulate consumption, and apply
the proper remedies rarely being mistaken
even in a single case. This familiarity in
connection with certain pathological and mi
