INHALATION IN CONSUMPTION.

BRONCHITIS, LARYNGITEs and other Diseases
~ of the Chest and Throat, successfully treated by
the Inhalation of dedicated Vapors ard Poyders
By absorption and constitutional trsa.ent as prac
ticed at the "Stuyvescent Medical Institute" New
York city.
The unprecedented asccess which has attended this
method Treating diseases Of the Lungs and
has induced US to depart from usual course and
avail ourselves Of the Press in order to bring it to
the knowledge of such as may be laboring UNDER or
predisposed to such affections.
The dawn of brighter day has at length arrived
for the COnsumptve. The doctrine Of the incura-
bilty Of Consumption has at length passed away We
have lndubtable proofs 10 possessicu that Con-
sumption in all It's stages be cured in the FIRST
by tnbereular absorption in the second by the
transf formation Of ,jerete into chalky ard cdicerous
eoncretion in the third by cicatrics. Those
welded to the past, may assert, that even now Con-
sumption is incurable; such are behind the age To
all this this great truth must be apparent viz: that
medicine inhaled in the form of Vspor or Powder
directly into the Lungs, must be much more eHecual
than that taken into the Stomach where the disease
does not exist.
The advantage Of Inhalation in Consumption and
Throat diseases is, that medicines in the form Ct
Vapor are applied directly to the Lungs where the
disease exists the stomach is thus left free to aid
in restoring health, by administering to i: healthy,
Gfe-giving food.
THERE is NO CASE SO HOPELESS,
that Inhalation will not reach The means, too
brought within the reach Of all, the administering
the vapors icing 50 simple that the invalid is
required to leave home, where the hand of friend
ship and affection tends 50 Euch to aid the phys-
clans efforts.
The lphalng method i. .oofhing, sofe and speedy,
ard consists in the administration OF medicine in
such manner that they are conveyed into the Lungs
in the form Of rapor and produce their action al me
seat Of the disease. Its practical success IA destined
to revoutOuiHe the opinions of the medical world
and establish the entire durability Of consumption.
| l earnestly appeal to the common sense Of all
afflicted with Lung diseases to embrace at once the
advantages OF Inhalation, and no longer apply nIed-
cine to the unofendng stomach. l claim tor lnha-
laton place amongst the priceless gifts that nature
