Which COnvtyH the remedies to the cavities
n the lungs, through the air passages, and COM
ing in direct contact with the disease, neutrali-
zes the tubercular matter, allays the cough, cau-
ses a free and easy expcctoraton, heals the
lungs, purihes the blood, imparts renewed vital
ity to the nervous system giving that tone and
clergy so Indispensable for the restoration of
health. To be able to state confidently that
Consumption is durable by inhalation, is to me
a source of unalioycd pleasure. 1t is as much
under the control of medical treatment as anv
other formidable disease; ninety out of every
hundred cases can be cured in the first stages,
and fifty per Cent in the second but in the third
stage it is impossible to save more than five per
cent, for the lungs are so cut up by the disease
as to bid defiance to medical skill. 4 zen, how
ever, in the last stages, Inhalation affords extra
ordinary relief 70 the suffering attending this
fearful scourgc, which annually destroys ninety
FIVE thousand persons in the United States alone !;
and correct calculation shows that of the pres
ent population of the earth, eighty millions are
destined to fill the COnsumptivc's grave.
Truly the quiver of death has no arrow so ia
tai as Consumption. In all ages 1t has been the
great enemy pf life, for it spares neither age nor
sex, but sweeps oil alike the brave. the beautiful
the graceful ard the gifted. BY the help OF
that Supreme Being .Om whom comcth every
good and perfect gift, am enabled to offer 10
the afflicted permanent and speedy cure in
. Consumption. The first cause of tubcrcles is
from impure blood, and the immediate effect
produced 10y their deposition in the lungs is to
prevent the free admission of air into the air
cells, which causes weakened vitality through
the entire system. Then surely it is more ra-
tional to expect greater good from medicines
entering the cavities of the lungs than from
those administered through the stomach the
patient will always find the lungs free and the
breathing easy, after inhaliwg remedies. Thus,
Inhalation is a local remedy, nevertheless il acts
consttutionally, and with more power aud GER

ach. To prove the powerful aud direct intu-

The Inhalation OF ammonia will rouse the

convincing proof of the constitutional effects
of Inhalation. is the fact that sickness is always
produced 10y breathing foul airs tins not pos
tive evidence that p oper remedies. carefully
prepared and judIciuusly administered through,
the lungs shouhf produce the happiest results ?
During eighteen years practice many thousands
suffering iiom diseases OF the lungs and throat
have been under my care, and have effected
many remarkable cures even after the sufferers
had been pronounced in the last stages, which

But the cure would be more certain if the
patient should pay me visit, which would give
an opportunity To examine the lungs and enable
me To prescribe with much grc4tnr certainty,
and then the cure could be effected without my
seeing the patient again. All letters asking
