IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.
CONSUMPTION
AND ALL
DISEASES OF THE LUNGS AND THROAT
ARE POSITIVELY
CURARLE RY INHALATION.

M HIGH conveys the remedies to the cayi-
w ties IN the lungs through the air passa-
ges, and coming in direct contact with the

giving that tone and energy 50 indispensable
for the restoration OF health To be able to
state confidently that Consumption is durable
by Inhalation, is to me a source Of unalloved
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, ami 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 Even. how
eyer III the last stages, Inhalation affords ex-
traordinary relief TO the suffering attending
this fearful Scourge, which annually destroys
ninety-hve thousand persons in the United
States alone and Il correct calculation shows
that Of the present population OF the earth
eighty millions are destined to ill the Con-
sumptve'S graves.
Truly the quivcr of death has no arrow so
fatal as Consumption. In all ages it has been
the great enemy of life, for it spares neither
til. beautiful, the graceful and the gifted. By
the help of that Supreme Being from whom
comcth every good and perfect gift, am en-
ahbled to offer to the afflicted a PERMANENT
and speedy cure in Consumption The first
cause Of tubercleS is from impure blood, and
the immediate effect produced by their depo-
Sition i'll the lungs IS 10 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 lnhaling remedies. Thus, inhalation is a
local remedy, nevertheless it acts constitutions
ally, and with more power and certaiuty than
remedies administered by the stomach To
prove the powerful and direct influence Of this

The inhalation OF ammonia will rouse the

convincing proof OF the constitutional effects
Of Inhalation, is the fact that sickness is al
ways produced by breathing foul air-is 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

disease. Ny treatment of consumption is
original, and founded on long experience and

Lance with the nature of tubcrcleS &c, cna-
Dles 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 flmil-
arity, in connection with certain pathological
and microscopic discoveries, enables me to re-
ieve the lungs from the effects of contracted

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 mo to prescribe with much greater
