IMPORTANT DISCOVERf
CONSUMPTION
AND ALL
Diseases Of the Lungs and Throat
ARE POSITIVELY
CfrRABLE BY INHALATION.

Which conveys the remedies TO the cavities
in the lungs through the air passages, and
coming in direct contact with the disease,
nc utralizes the tubercular matter, allays the
cough, causes free and easy expectorations
heals the lungs, Durifes the blood, lmpart-
renewed vitality to the nervous system, give
ing that tone and energy so indispensable Tor
the restoration ofhealth. To he able 10 state
confidently that Consumption is durable be
inhalation, is TO me source OF uD6lloyed
pleasure. 1t Is much under the control of
medical treatment 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 in the third stage il.
is impossible to save more than FIVE per cent
for the Lungs are 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 annually destroys
ninety-five 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-
sumptlve's graves.
| Truly the culver Of death has no arrow so
fatal as Consumption. In all ages il has been
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 i'm
mediate effect produced by their deposition
in the lungs is TO prevent the free admission
of air into the air cells, which causes wea-
kened vitality through the entire system
Then surely it is more rational to expect
greater good from medicines entering the
cavities of the lungs than from those admin
istered through the stomach; the patient will
always find the lungs free and the breathing
easy, after Inhaing remedies. Thus, lnha-
halation is local remedy, nevertheless 1t acts
constitutionally, aud with more power and
4 certainty than remedies administered by the
stomach. To prove the powerful aud direct
influence of this mode of administration, chic
roiorm inhaled will entirely destroy sensibil-
ity in u few minutes, paralyzlng the entire
nervous system so that limb may be ainpu-
tated without the slightest pain; inhallng the
ordinary burning gas will destroy life in
, few hours
The inhalation OF ammonia Will rouse the
system when fainling 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 consii-
tutional effects of inha alation, is the fact that
sickness is always produced by breathing foul
airs not this positive evidence that proper
remedies, carefully prepared and judiciously

years practice, many thousands suffering
from diseases of the Lungs and throat, have
been under my care, and Lave effected many
remarkable cures, even after the sufferers
have been pronounced in the last stages,
which fully satisfies NE that consumption is
no longer IA fatal disease. My treatment Of
consumption is original, and founded on long
experience and thorough investigation. NV
perfect acquaintance with the nature of luber-
e!es, &C., enables me to distinguish, readily,
the various forms oidsease that simulate con-
sumption, and apply the proper remedies. rare

Medicines with tuli directions sent 10 any
part of the United States and Canadas by pa
tlents 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.
