CONSUMPTION
DISEASES OF the LUNGS and THROAT
CAN BE
CURED BIZ INHALATION.


WHICH CONVEYS THE REMEDIES TO THE
~ cavities in the lungs, through the air passages,
and coming in direct contact with the disease neu-
tralizes the tubercular matter aays the cough
free and easy expectoraton heals the lungs, puri-
hes the blood, imparts renewed vitality TO the
vous system giving that tone and energy 50 indis-
pensable for the restoration Of health TO be able TO
state confidently that Consumption is durable by in
haaton, IS 10 me source OF unaloyed pleasure IL
is as 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
u Is impossible to save more than five per cent Tor
the Lungs are so cut up BY the disease 10 bid de-
iance To medical skill. Eyen however, in the last
stages, Inhalation affords extraordinary relief to the
suffering attending this fcaful scourge which annu-
ally destroys ninety-fve thousand persons in the
United States alone; and Q, rect calculation shows
that OF the present population Of the EARTH eighty
millions are destined TO fill the Consumptves grave
Truly the CULVER of death has arrow so fatal as
Consumption. In all ages it has been the great
enemy Of life for il spares neither age nor Sex but
sweeps OH alike the brave, the beautiful the grace
lnl and the gifted BY the help of that Supreme
Being from whom cometh every good and lerfect
gift lam enabled to offer to the afflicted permanent
ana speedy cure Ia Consumption The first cause Of
tubercles Is from impure blood, and the Immediate
effect produced by their deposition in the lungs is tc
prevent the free admission of air into the air cells
which causes weakened vitality through the entir &
ystem. Then surely II is more rational 10 expec
goodfrom 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 nhaling remedies. Thus, In
haation is local remedy, nevertheless il acts con-
stiuonallv, and with horsepower and certainty than
remedies administered by the stomach To prove
the powerful and direct influence Of this mode of ad
mnistration chloroform inhaled will entirely destroy
sensibility in few minutes, parayzing the entire
nervous system, so that limb may be amputated
without the slightest pain; inhnling the ordinary
burning gas will destroy life in a few hours
The inhalation OF ammonia will rouse the system
when faintng or apparently dead. The odor Of many
of the medicines is percsptbe in the skin few
minutes alter being inhaled and may be Immediate
y detected in the blood A convincing proof OF the
constitutional effects OF inhalation is the fact that
sickness is always produced by breathing foul air
is this not positive evidence that proper remedies
carefully prepared and jndciously administered
through the lungs should produce The bappiest re-
suits? During eighteen years practice many thou
sands suffering from diseases of the lungs and throat
have been under my care, aud 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 varions
forms Of disease that simulate consumption, and ap
plying proper remedies rarely being mistaken even
in single This familiarity III connection with
certain pathological and microscopic discoveries en-
abes me to relieve the lungs from the effects of con-
racted chests to enlarge the chest purify the blood
impart to 1t 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 patients commu-
nicaung their symptoms by letter But the cure
would be more certain if the patient should pay me
visit, which would give an opportunity TO examine
the lungs, aud enable me 10 prescribe with much
greater certainty and then the cure could be effected
without my seeing the patent again. All letters
asking advice must contain postage stamp.
