halation Is 10 me source OF unalloyed pleasure Is
is as much under the control Of medical treatment
as any other formidable disease ninety out of every
hundred casesscan be cured in the first stages and
fifty per cent. in the second but in the third stage
il Is impossible 10 save more than five per cent for
the Lungs are SO cut up by the disease to bid de-
hance 10 medical skill Even however in the last
stages Inhalation affords extraordinary relief to the
suffering attending this Gaful scourge, which annu-
ally destroys ninety-fve thousand persons in the
United States alone; and rrect calculation shows
that of the present population of the earth, eighty
millions are destined 70 ill the Consumptive's grave.
Truly the culver Of death has no arrow SO fatal
Consumption. In all ages it has been the great
enemy OF life, for il spares neither age nor sex, but
sweeps of alike the brave, the beautiful, the grace
i,l and the gifted. BY the help Of that Supreme
Being from whom cometh every good and erfect
gift am enabled to offer 10 the afflicted permanent
and speedy cure in Consumption. The first cause Of
tubercles Is from impure blood, and the immediate
effect produced by their deposition in the lungs is to
prevent the free admission of air into the air cells,
which causes weakened vitality through the entire
ystem. Then surely il is more rational TO expect
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, after inhang remedies. Thus, In
halation is local remedy, nevertheless II acts
stitutionally and with power and certainty than
remedies administered by the stomach. Toproye
the powerful and direct influence OF this mode Of adj
mnistraton, chorofurm inhaled will entirely destroy
sensiUity in few minutes paralyzng the entire
nervous system, so that limb may be amputated
without the slightest pain inhang the ordinary
burning gas will destroy life in u few hours
The inhalation OF ammonia will rouse the system
when fainting or apparently dead. The odor of many
OF the medicines is percfptible in the skin a few
ly detected in the blood convincing proof OF the
constitutional effects of inhalation, the fact that
sickness is always produced by breathing foul air =
is this not positive evidence that proper remedies,
carefully prepared and judiciousy administered
through the lungs should produce the happiest re-
sutsg During eighteen years practice many thou
sands suffering from diseases Of the lungs and throat
have been under my care, AID have effected many
remarkable cures even after the sufferers had been
pronounced in the last stages which fully satisfies
me that consumption is no longer fatal disease. My
treatment of consumption is original, and founded
on long experience and thorough investigation.
My perfect acquaintance with the nature OF tuberces,
&C., enables me to distinguish, readily, the various
forms of disease that simulate consumption, and APP
plying proper remedies rarely being mistaken even
in single This familiarity in connection with
certain pathological and microscopic discoveries,
abes to relieve the lungs from the effects Of con-
tracted chests, to enlarge the chest purify the blood
impart to 1t renewed vitality giving energy and tone
10 the entire system.
Medicines with full directions sent to any part Of
the United States and Canadas by patients commu-
nicatng their symptoms by letter But the cure
would be more certain If the patient should pay me
a visit, which would give opportunity to examine
the lungs, and enable me 10 prescribe with much
greater certainty and then the could be effected
without my seeing the patient again. All letters
asking advice must contain a postage stamp.
