tenn, giving that tone and energy so ind;s-
pensable ior the restoration ofheaIlh. To be
able to state confidently that Consumption is
curable Sy Inhalation, is 10 me a source of
unaloyed pleasure Ii is as much under The
control OF medical Treatment as atty other
formidable disease; ninety out of every hun
dred cases can be cured in the frs, stages,
anG fifty per cent. in The second; but in the
third Stage i, is impossible 10 save more than
five per cent, for The luuas are so cut up by
the disease as 10 bid defiance 10 medical
skill. Even, however, in the last stages, in.
halaton affords extraordinary relief 10 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 the present pop
ulaIion of the earth, eighty millions are des-
tined 10 fill the consumpuve's grave.
Truly the qnivcr Of death has no arrow SO
fatal as Consumption, In all ages il has been
the great enemy Of life, for il spares neither
age nor sex, but sweeps off alike The brave,
the beautiful, the graceful, and the gifted
By the help Of that Supreme Being, from
whom comelh every good and perfect gift, |
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 deposition in the lungs, is 10 prevent
the free admission of air into The air cells,
which causes a weakened vitality through
the entire system. Then surely il is more
rational 10 expect greater good from medi
ciues entering the cavitles of the lungs than
from those Administered through The s,om-
| ach; The patient will always find the lungs
free and the breathing easy after inhaing
remedies. Thus, inhalation is local
remedy, nevertheless it acts consliiutionally,
and with more power and certainty than rem
! edies administered by the stomach. To prove
The powerful and direct influence OF this
mode Of administration, chloroform inhaled

inhaled, and may oe Immediately detected

constitutional effects OF inhalation, is the fac
that sickness is always produced by breath

tina, proper remedies, carefully prepared and

should produce the most happy results! Du.

My treatment Of consumption Is original, and
founded OIL long experience aud thorough

the nature of ,ubercles, &c, enables me Ia
distinguish readily the various forms of dis

The proper remedies rarely being mistaken
even in single case. This familiarity in

Medicines with full directions sent 10 any
part OF the United States and Cauadas by
patients communicating their symptoms by
| letter. But the cure would be more certain
if the patient should pay me visit, which
would give me an opportunity TO examine
the lungs and enable me 10 prescribe with
greater certainty, and then the cure could be
effected without my seeing the patient again.
