INHALATION IN
N S u M PTION

BRONCHITIS. LARYNGyTIS. and other
ID diseases of the Chest an Throat success
fully treated by the Inhalation of Medicated
vapors and Powders by ABSORPTION and consti-
tut:onal treatment, as practised at the .sStuy-
vestant Medical Institute" New York city.
The unprecedented success which has at
tended this method of treating diseases of the
Lungs and Throat, has induced US to part from
our usual courses. in order to bring it to the
knowledge of such as may be laboring under
or predisposed to such Affections.
The dawn of a brighter day has at length
arrived for the eonsuInptiye. The doctrine of
the incurability of Consumption has ct length
passed away. We have lndubita5le proofs in
our possession, that Consumption in all its
stages can be cured in the first, by tubercular
absorption /; in the second by transformation
of tubereu1e into chalky and calcarous concre-
tions in be tn .rd by sicatriceso or scars. Those
wedded to the past, msy assert that even now
Consumption is i~ncdrable such are behind
the age. 70 all this, great truth must be APP
parent viz that medicines inhaled in the
form of yapor or Powder directly into the
Lungs must be more ~effectual than that taken
into the stomach, where the disease does not
exist.
The advantage of inhalation in Consump-
ton and Throat Diseases is, the stomach is
thus left free to aid in restoring, by admins
tering to it healthy life-giving food. There is
no case so hopeless that inhalation will not
reach. The means too, are brought within
reach of all, the manner of adninisterih g the
vapors being SO simple that the inyalids are
never required to leave home, were the hapd
of friendship and affection tend so much to aid
the physician's efforts.
The Inhalation method is soothing safe and
speedy, and consists in the administration of
medicines in such a manpert that they are con-
veyel into the lungs il the form of Yapor and
produce their action at the seat of the disease.
Its practical success il destined to revolutions
ize the medical world, aud establish the entire
durability of Consumption.
l earnestly appeal to the common sense of
all affiicted with lung diseases. to embrace at
once the advantage of Inhalation and no lon
ger apply medicines to the unoffending stom.
ach. l claim for Inhalation a place among the
priceless gifts nature and art hath given us.

a method not only rational but simple and
efficatious.
Such of the profession that have adopted In
halatioa. have found it eficacious in the high
est degree, arresting the progress of the dis
ease, and working wonders in many desperate
cases, in variety a triumph of our art over this
fell destroyer of our species.
