INHALATION

BRONCHITIS Laryngylis, and other GIseas-
Des of the Chest and Throat successfully treat
ed by the Inhalation of Medicated vaPors and
Powders by absorption and constitutional treat
ment, as practsed at the "SluyVesahl Medlcai
Institute" New York city
The ,lnpyecedcated 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 it TO the knowledge
of such as NAV be laboring under or predlSpOs-
ed &c such affections.
The dawn Of q brighter day has at length ar
rived for the consumptlve. The doctrine oi
the incurability of Consumption has at length
passed away We have indubitabie proofs IN
our possession, that Consumption in all It's sta
ges can be cured; in the first, by tHbercuar 40
so,piion in the second by transformation o. ~
be1cuIe into ctckg and catcareouS concTetoIIS IN
the third, bu cicairiecS 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 medicines inhaled in the form OF vapor or
Po,cder direettp i,lto The Lungs must be more ell
fectua than that taken into the stomach, Wnere
the disease does not exist.
The advantage Of Inhalation In Consumption
and Throat Diseases is, the stomach is thus lelt
| free to aid in restoring by, administering 10
healthy Hfe-siving food. There IS no ease 50

means. too, are brought within reach of all, the
manner Of administering the vapors beng Sc
Esimple that the invalid is never required &c
leave home, where the hand Of friendship and
affection tends SO much TO aid the physicians
efforts.
The Inhalating method is soothing safe ana
speedu 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. Its prac
teal success is destined to revolutlonize the
opinions of the medical world and establish tn
eniire carabSlity Of Consumption.
! Iearneslly appeal to the common sense Of
all afflicted with lung diseases, TO embrace a
once the advantage Of inhalatian; and no lon
ger apply medicines TO the unofiending stomach
