able to Stale confidently that Consumption is
curable by Inhalation, is 10 me a source of
unaloyed pleasure. II is as much under the
control OF medical treatment as any other
formidable disease; ninety ou, of every hun

third stage il is impossible 10 save more than
five per cent, for The lungs are so cut up BY
the disease as 10 bid defiance 10 medical
skill. Even, however, in the last stagee, in.
halation affords extraordinary relief 10 the
suHerns attending this fearful scourge, which
annually destroys ninety five thousand per.
sons in the United States alone; and a correc,
calculation shows that out of The present pop
ulation Of The earth, eighty millions are des-
tined TO fill the consumpuye's grave.

the great enemy Of life, for il spares neither

first cause of tubercles is from impure

by their disposition in the lungs, is 10 prevent
the free admission Of air into the air cells,
which causes q weakened vitality through
