IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.
CONSUMPTION
AND ALL
DISEASES Of TIE LUNGS AND THROAT
ARE POSITIVELY
CFRARIE RY INHALATION,


NTHICH conveys the remedies to the cavi=
! w ties in the lungs through the airpassa=
ges, and coming in direct contact with the
disease, neutralizes the tubercular matter, all
laws the cough, causes free and easy expec-
toration, heals the lungs, purifies the blood,
| imrarts renewed vitality to the nervous system,
giving that tone and energy so indispensable
| for the restoration of health. Tp be able to
state confidently that Consumption is durable
by inhalation, is to me source of unalloyed
pleasure. 1t is as much under the control of
medical treatment as any other formidable
disease ninety out OF every hundred cases
can be cured in the first stages, and fifty per
cent. in the second hut in the third stage it
| is impossible to save more than five per cent,
for the Lungs are SO eut up by the disease as
to bid defiance TO medical skill. Even, how
eyer, in the last stages, Inhalation affords ex-
traerdinary relief to the suffering attending
this fearful scourge, which annually destroys
qinety-fye thousand persons in the United
States alone and correct calculation shows
that of the present population Of the earth,
eighty millions are destined to fill the Con-
sumptiye's graves.
Truly the quiver of death has no arrow so
fatal as Consumption. In all ages it has been
the great enemy of life, for it 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
aometh every good and perfect gift, am en-
ahbled to offer to the afflicted permanent
and speedy cure in Consumption. The first
cause of tuberceS is from impure blood and
the immediate effect produced by their depO-
sition in the lungs is to prevent the free ad-
mission of air into the air cells, which causes
a weakened vitality through the entire system.
Then surely it is more rational to expect great
er 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 af-
ter Inhaling remedies. Thus, Inhalation is
local remedy, nevertheless it acts copstitution-
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 sensibilty in
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 a few hours.
The Inhalation of ammonia will rouse the
system when tainting or apparently dead. The
odor Of many of the medicines is perceptible
in the skin few minutes after being inhaled
and may be immediately detected in the blood
4 convincing proof of the constitutional effects
Of inhalation, is the fact that sickness is al
ways produced by breathing foul airs not
this positive evidence that proper remedies,
carefully prepared and judiciously admins
tered through the lungs should produce the
happiest results? During eighteen years.
practice, many thousands suffering from dis
eases of the lungs and throat, have been un-
der my care, and have effected many remark
able cures, even after the sufferers had been
pronounced in the last stages, which fully sat-
isles me that consumption is no longer a fatal
disease. Ny treatment of consumption is
original, and founded on long experience and
a thorough Investigation. Ny perfect acquain-
tance with the nature of tuhercleS, &C., ena-
bles me to distinguish, readily, the various
forms of disease that simulate consumption,
and apply the proper remedies, rarely being
mistaken even in a single case. This famil-
iarity, in connection with certain pathological
and microscopic discoveries, enables me to re-
lieve the lungs from the effects of contracted
chests, to enlarge the chest, purify the blood
impart to it renewed vitality, giving energy
and tone to the entire system.
Medicines with full directions seut to aqy
part of the United States and Canadas by pa
tients communicating their symptoms by letter
But the cure would be mGre certain if the
patient should pay me visit, which would
give me 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.
