\ The unprecedented success which has attended
this method of treating diseases of the Lungs ano
Throat, has induced us to depart from our usua
course, and avail ourselves of the columns OF the
press in order to bring it to the knowledge of such
as may be laboring under rpredisposedt to such at
4 fections.
The dawn of brighter day has at length arrived
for the Gonsumptve the doctrine OF the ncurablllty
/ OF CONSUMPTION having at length passed away. We
lave indubitable proofs in possession THAT Con-
SUMPTION STAGES CAN BE CURED! in the hrst

welded to the opinions of the past may assert, that
even now Consumption is incurable, such are be-
hind the age To all this great truth must be appa-
rent viz: that the medicines inhaled in the form OF
Vapor Or Powder DIRECTLY into the Lungs, must be
much more effective than that taken into the stomach
where the disease does not exist. The advantage OF
inhalation in Consumption and Throat Diseases is,
that medicines in the form of vapor applied dl-
rectfy the lungs where the disease exists the sto
mach thus left free to aid in restoring health by
administering to it healthy, lifegiving food There
Is NO CASE HOPELESS that inhalation will not reach!
The means too are brought within the reach OF all,
the manner of administering the yapors being SO sim
pie, that the invalid is required to leave nome,
where The hand of friendship and affection tends so
much to aid the physicians efforts
The inhalng method is soothing, safe ana speedy,
and consists in the administration of medicine IN such
manner that they are conveyed into the lungs IN
the form of vapor and produce their action at the
sea- of the disease. It's practical success is destined
to revoIutionise the opinions OF the medcal World
and establish the entire durability Of Consunpt'on
Iearnestly appeal to the common sense Of all al
cted with lung diseases to embrace at once the ad
vantages of inhalation, and no longer apply medl-
cine to the anofending stomach. claim tor 1nhala-
