Diseases Of the Lungs and Threat
ARE POSITIVELY ne
CURARIE RY INHALATION

DURABLE BY INHALATION,
Which conyeys the remedies TO the cavities
in the lungs through the air passages, and
coming in direct contact with the disease,
ncutrallzes the tubercular matter, allays the
cough, causes free and easy expectorations
heals the lungs, Duri6es the blood, mpart-
renewed vitality to the nervous system, give
ing that tone and energy so indispensable for
the restoration of health. To be able to state
confidently tnat Consumption is durable be
inhalation, is TO me source of unalloyed
pleasure. 1t IS much under the control Of
medical treatment as-any other formidable
disease; ninety out of every hGndred cases-
can be cured in the first stages, and fifty per
cent. in the second; but in the third stage it
is impossible TO save more than five per cent
for the Lungsare so cut up by the disease as'
to bid defiance TO medical skill. Even, how
ever, in the last stages, Inhalation affords ex-
traordinary relief TO The suffering attending
this fearful scourge, which annual destroys
ninety-fivc thousand persons in the United
States alone; and correct calculation shows
that Of the present population of the earth,
eighty millions are destined to fill the con-
sumptive's graves
Truly the quiver Of death has no arrow so
the great enemy of life, for it spares neither
age nor sex, but sweeps off alike the brave,
the beautiful, the graceful and the gifted. By
the help of that Supreme Being from whom
cometh every good and perfect gift, am en-
abled to offer TO the afflicted permanent and
speedy cure in Consumption. The first cause
of tuberclcs is from impure blood and the inn
mediate effect produced by their deposition
IN the lungs Is 10 prevent the free admission
OF air into the air cells, which causes a wea-
kened vitality through the entire system
| Then surely 1t is more rational TO expect
greater good from medicines entering the
cavities Of the lungs than from those admin
istercd through the stomach; the patient will
always find the lungs free and the breathing
easy, after lnhaIing remedies. Thus, lnha-
halation is a local remedy, nevertheless IT acts
constitutonally, and with more power and
certainty than remedies administered by the
stomach To prove the powerful and direct
influence of this mode of administration, chic
reform inhale will entirely destroy sensibii-
| Ity IN few minutes, paralyzing the entire
nervous system, so that limb may De ampu-
tated without the slightest pain; inhaling the
ordinary burning gas will destroy life in
few hours
The inhalation of ammonia will rouse the
system when fainting or apparently dead
The odor Of many of the medicines is percep-
tible in the skin few minutes after being in
hailed, and may be Immediately detected in
the blood, A convincing proof of the consti-
tutlonal effects of inhalation, is the fact that
sickness is always produced by breathing foul
alr--ls not this positive evidence that proper
remedies, carefully prepared and judiciously
administered through the lungs should pro-
duce the happest resultsl During eighteen
years practice, many thousands suffering
from diseases of the lungs and throat, have
been under my care, and | have effected many
remarkable cures, even after the sufferers
have 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 oil long
experience and thorough investigation. My
perfect acquaintance with the nature of tuber-
cles, &c, enables me 10 distinguish, readily
the various forms ofdisease that simulate con
sumption, and apply the proper remedies, rare
iyOelng mistaken even IN single case. This
familiarity, in connection with certain patho-
logical and microscopic discoveries, enables
me TO relieve the lungs from the effects of
contracted chests, 10 enlarge the chest, puri-
fly the blood, impart to it 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
tients communicating their symptoms by let
ter 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 me to prescribe with much
greater certainty, and then the cure could be
effected without my seeing the patient again.
