The unprecedented success which has attended
this method of treating diseases of the lungs and
throat has induced us to depart from our usual
course. and avail ourselves of the columns of the
Press in order to bring 70 the knowledge Of such
as may be laboring under, or predisposed to such
affections. The dawn of 4 brighter day has aIriv-
ed for the Consumptive; the doctrine of the incura
biity of Consumption having at length passed
away. We have indubtabe proofs in our posses
sion, Nct Consumption, iU MI its staqcs can be
eRroi'-in the first by tuhercular absorptions: in
the second 10y the transformation of tubercale into
chalky and calcerous corrections; in the third by
cicatriceg or scars. Those welded to the opinions
of the past may assert, that even now consumption
is incurable; such are behind the age To ali this
great trth must be apparent, viz: that the mctli-
cine inhaled in the form Of Eapor or Powder Iii
rectly into the lungs, must be more efrcctual than
that taken into the stomach where the disease
does not exist The advantage of inhalation in
consumption and throat diseases is that medicine
IN the form of vapor are applied directly to the
lungs, where the disease exists; the stomach is thus
left free to aid in restoring by administering to it
healthy, life giving food. I2ere IS case SO kopc-
