IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.
CONSUMPTION
AND ALL
DISEASES OF The LUNGS AND THROAT
ARE POSITIVELY
GURAREE BY INHALATION,

NETIiiCIi conveys the remedies TO the cayl-
w ties in the lungs through the air passa-
ges, and coming in direct contact with the
disease, neutralzes the tubcrcular natter al
lays the cough, causes free and easy cXpec-
torGtion, heals the lungs, purities the blood,
lmpartS renewed vitality TO the nervous system,
giving that tone and energy so indispensable
Tor the restoration of health. To be able to
state confidently that Consumption is curable
by inhalation, is to me Il source OF unalloyCu
pleasure. 1t is as much under the control OF
medical treatment as any other formidable
disease: ninety out of every hundred eases
can be cured in the first stages, and fifty per
cent in the second but in the third stage It
is impossible 10 save more than five per cent,
for the Lungs are so cut up by the disease as
to bid defiance to medical skill. Even, how
ever, in the last stages, inhalation affords eN-
traordinary relief TO the suffering attending
this fearful Scourge, which annually destroys
ninety-fye thousand persons in the United
States alone and correct calculation shows
that or the present population of the earth,
eighty millions are destined 10 FIJI the Con-
sumptive's graves.
Truly the culver Of death has 10 arrow so
fatal as Consumption. In all ages it has been
the great enemy Of life, for it spares neither
lage nor sex, but sweeps Off alike the brave,
tie. beautiful, the graceful and the gifted b
tHe n lp of That Supreme Being from whom
cometh every good and perfect gift, am en-
ahblcd to offer 10 the afflicted a permanent
and speedy cure il Consumption. The first
cause of tubercles is from impure blood, and
the immediate effect produced by their depo-
sition in the lungs is to preveat the free ad-
mission OF air into the air cells, which causes
II weakened vitality through the entire system.
Then surely it is more rational TO expect great
cr 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, at
ter Inhaliug remedies. Thus, Inhalation is a
local remedy, nevertheless it acts constitution
ally, and with more power and certaiuty than
remedies administered by the stomach. To
prove the powerful and direct influence of this
this mode of administration, chloroform
inhaled will entirely destroy sensibility in a
few minutes, paralyZing the entire nervous
system, so that limb may be amputated with
out the slightest pain Inhaling the ordinary
burning gas will destroy life in few hours.
The Inhalation of ammonia viii rouse the
system when faiutipg or apparently dead. The
odor of many of the medicines is perceptible
in the skin few minutes after being inhaled,

of inhalation, is the fact that sickness is al

practice, many thousands suffering from dis

mistaken even in n single case. This famil-

and microscopic discoveries enables me TO re-

chests, to enlarge the chest. purify the blood,
impart to it renewed vitality giving energy
and tone to the entire system.

But the cure would be more certain if the
patient should pay me visit, which would
give he an opportunity to examine the lungs
and enable mo to prescribe with much greater
certainty, and then the cure could be effected
without my seeing the patient again.
