CONSUMPTION,

AND ALL DISEASES OF THE LUNGS
IN ard THTOAT are positively curable by
Inhalation, which conveys the remedies 10
he cav tiles in The lungs through The air pas
ages, and coming in direct contact with the
disease, neutralizes the iubercular matter,
allays the cough, causes free and easy ex-
peclorstion, heals the lungs, pur fies The blood,
imparls renewed vitality 20 the nervous sys.
lem, giving that ioue and energy so ind:s
pensable for The restorative Of health. To be
able 10 state confidently that Consumption is
durable BY inhalation, is TO me a source OF
upal!oyed pleasure II is as much under the
control of medical treatment as any other
formidable disease; ninety out OF every hum
,dred cases can be cured in The first stages,
and -fifly per cent. in the secoLd; but in the
third stage il is impossible 10 save more ,han
five per cent, for he lupas are so cut up by
the disc ase as 10 bid defiance 10 medical
skill. Even, however, in the last stages, in
talation affords extraordinary fellei 10 the
,uferins atendiGg this fearful scourge, which
annually destroys ninety five thousand per-
sons in The United States alone; and correct
calculation shows that out OF The present pop
ul.tion of the earth, eighty millions are dee
:ined 10 fill the consumPIve's grave.
Truly the q1ver of deaih has no arrow so
fatal as Consumption. In all ages ii has been
the great enemy OF life, for ii spares neither
ace nor sex, but sweeps off alike the brave,
the beautiful The graceful, aud The gifted
By the help of that Supreme Being, from
whom comelh every good and perfect gilt,
am enabled 10 offer 10 the afflicted perma-
nent ard speedy cure in Consumption. The
first cause of tubercles is from impure
blood. and the immediate effect, produced
by their disposition in the lungs, is TO prevent
The free admission of air into The air cells,
which causes a weakened vitality through
the entire system. Then surely it is more
rational 10 expect greater good rom n.edIss
cnes entering The cavities OF the lungs Than
from those administered through the siom-
acb; The patient will always find the lungs
free aud The breathing easy after inhaine
remedies. True, inhalation is local
remedy, nevertheless it acts constilulionalIy,
and with more power and certainty than rem
edies administered by the stomach. Toprove
the powerful aud direct influence oil this
mode of administration, chloroform inhaled
will entirely destroy sensiblity in few min
u!es, paralyzing the entire nervous system, so
tha, limb may be ampulaied withou, the
slightest pain; inhaling the ordinary burning
gas will destroy lie in lew hours.
The inhalation of ammonia will rouse the
sy.tem when faiuting or apparently dead
The odor of many OF the medicines is per.
ceplible in tie skin few minutes afler being
inhaled, and may be Immediately detected
in The blood. A convincing proof of the
constitutional effects oil inhalation, is The fact
that sickness is always produced by breath
ing foul air. Is not this positive evidence
that proper remedies, carefully prepared and
iudiciously administered through The lungs,
should p.oducs the most happy results? Du-
ring eighteen years practice, many ihous-
ands, suffering from diseases of The lungs
and throat, have been under my care, and
have affected many remarkable cures, even
after The sufferers had been pronounced in
the last stages, which fully satisfies me that
consumption is no longer Iatal disease
NV treatment of consumption Is original, and
founded on long experiences and thorough
investigation. My perfect acquaintance with
the nature of lubercles, sc, enables me 10
distinguish readily the various forms OF dis
ease that simulate consumption, and apply
the proper remedies rarely being mistaken
even in single case. This familiarity in
connection with certain pathological and mi
croscopic discoveries, enables me 10 relieve
the lungs from the effects Of contracted chests;
10 enlarge the chest, purify The blood, lmparl
TO II renewed vitality, giving energy and lone
20 the entire system.
