toration, heals the lungs, purifeS the blood,

giving that tone and energy so Indispensable
Or the restoration of health. To be able 70
state confidently that Consumption is durable
by Inhalation, is to me q source of unalloyed
pleasure. X 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; but in the third stage il
IS impossible to save more than five per cent,
for the Lungs are so cut up by the disease as
10 bid defiance 10 medical skill Even, how
ever, in the last stages, Inhalation affords eX
,raordinary relief 10 the suffering attending
mis- fearful scourge, which annually destroys
ninety-hye thousand persons in the United
States alone and q correct calculation shows
that Of the present population of the earth,
eighty millions are destined to i'll the Con-
sumptiye'S graves.
Truly the quiver of death has no arrow so
fatal as Consumption. Ia all ages it has been
the great enemy of lie, for it spares neither
age nor sex, but sweeps of alike the brave,
Jns beautiful. Tho graceful and the gifted. BY
the help OF that Supreme Being from whom
cometh every good and perfect gift, an en-
ahbled 10 offer to The afflicted a permanent
and speedy cure in Consumption. The first
cause OF tabeTClcs is from impure blood, and
the immediate effect produced by their dePo-
sition in the lungs is to prevent Jae free ali
mission Of air INTO the air cells, which causes
= weakened vitality through the entire system
Then surely it is more rational 20 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 a
local remedy, nevertheless it acts constitutions
ally, and with more power and certainty than
remedies administered by the stomach. To
prove the powerful and direct influence o. this
this mode Of administration, chloroforn

Bat 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 MO to prescribe with much greater
certainty. and then the cure could be effected
without my seeing the patient again.
