able TO state confidently that Consumption is

unaloyed pleasure. Ii is as much under the
control OF medical treatment as any other
formidable disease; ninety out of every hun
dred cases can be cured in the first stages,
and fifty per cent. in the second; but in the
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 stages, in.
halation affords extraordinary relief TO the
suffering attending this fearful scourge, which
annually destroys ninety five thousand per.
sons in the United States alone; and correct
calculation shows that out of lbe present pop
