Institute" New York city.
The unprecedented success which has attended
this method of treating diseases, OF The Lungs
and Throat, has induced us TO part from our u
sual course in order to bring ii 10 the knowledge
of such as may be laborng under or predlspOs-
ed tC such affections.
The dawn of brighter day has at length ar
rived for the eonsumptiVe. The doctrine OF
the incurability of Consumption has at length
passed away. We have indubitable proofs IN
our possession, that Consumption IN all ITS sta
ges can be cured; IN the first, by tubercmT GO-
Sorpiion in the second by Transformation o. fH-
bercuLe into chalky and caICreouS concretIonS ia
the third, Jy cicatrieeS or 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 med icines inhaled in the form Of yapor
Poirder directly into The Lungs must be more Ell
fcctual 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 1t
healthy hle-giying food. There IS no case so
means, too, are brought within reach Of all, the
manner of administering the vaPors being so
simple that the invalid is never required 10
leave home where the hand Of friendship and
affection tends so much to aid the physicians
efforts.
The Inhalating method is soothing sQe and
Speedv, and consists in the administration OF med
icInes in such manner that they are conveyed
into the lungs in the form of VaPor and produce
their action at the seat Of the disease. It's prac-
