ity to the nervous system giving that tone and
energy so Indispensable for the restoration of
health. To be able to state confidently that
Consumption is curable by inhalation, is to ME
a source of unalloyed pleasure. 1t is as much
under the control of medical treatment rs 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 i'm the third
stage il is impossible to save more than five per
cent, for the lungs cut up by the disease
as to bid defiance to medical skin. Even, how
ever, in the last stages, Inhalation affords extra
ordinary relief to the suffering attending this
fearful Scourge, which annually destroys ninety
and correct calculation shows that of the pres
cnt population OF the earth, eighty millions are
destined to I'LL the Consumptives grave.
Truly the quiver Of death has no arrow so fa-
tai as Consumption. In all ages it has been the
great enemy of life, for it spares neither age nor
sex, but sweeps oil alike the brave. the beautiful
the graceful ard the gifted. by the help of
that Supreme Being from whom comcth every
good and perfect gift, | am enabled to offer to
~
Consumption. The first cause of tubcrclcs 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 IA weakened vitality through
the entire system. Then surely it is more ra-
tional to expect greater good from medicines
entering the cavities of the lungs tlan from
those administered through the stomach the
patient will always find the lungs free and the
breathing easy, after inhaling remedies. Thus
Inhalation is IA local remedy, nevertheless il acts
constitutionally, and with more power and Ger.
tainty than remedies administered by the slom-
ach. To prove the powerful and direct intu.

prepared and iudlciousy administered through

During eighteen years practice many thousands
suffering nom diseases OF the lungs aud throat
have been under my care, and 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
"A fatal disease. Ny treatment OF consumption
is original, and founded on longcxpcricncc and
a thorough investigation. NY perfect ac,uaiu-
tance with the nature of tubcrclrs &C., enables
me TO distinguish, readily. the various forms OF
disease that simulate consumption, and apply
the proper remedies, rarely being mistak cu
even in single case. This familiarity, in con-
nccton with certain pathological and mcros-
copic discoveries, enables me to relieve the
lungs from the effects of contracted chests, to
enlarge the chest purify the blood, inpart to il
renewed vitality, giving energy and tone to the
entire system.
Medicines with full directions sent to any
part OF the United States and Canadas by pa
ticnts communicating their symptoms 10y letter.
But the cure would be more certain if the
patient should pay me a visit, which would give
an opportunity to examine the lungs, and enable
me to prescribe with much greater certainty
and then the cure could bc effected without my
seeing the patient again. All letters asking
advice must contain postage stamp.
