IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.
CONSUMPTION
AND ALL
Diseases of the Lungs and Throat
ARE POSITIVELY
DURABLE BY INHALATION,

Which conveys the remedies TO the cavities
IN The lungs through the air passages, and
coming In direct contact with the disease
NJ utralizes the tubercular matter, allays the
cough, causes free and easy expectorationS
heals the lungs, purifies the blood, impart-
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 that Consumption is curable be.
lnhalati IS TO me source of unalloyeR
pleasure. 1t is much under the control Of
medical treatment as 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 II
is impossible to save more than FIVE per cent
for the Lungs are go cut up by the disease as
to bid defiance to medical skill. Even, how
ever, in the last stages, Inhalation affords ex-'
lraordinary relief 10 the suffering attending
ibis fearful scourge, which annually destroys
.ninety-ive thousand persons in the United
States alone; and a correct calculation shows
that OF the present population of the earth,.
eighty millions are destined TO fill the con-
sumptve's graves.
Truly the quver of death has no arrow 20
fatal as Consumption. In all ages il has been
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 to prevent the free admission
of air into the air cells, which causes wea-
kened vitality through the entire system
Then surely 1t Is more rational 10 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 tie breathing
easy, after lnhaling remedies. THUS, lnha-
halation is local remedy, nevertheless II acts
consttutionally, and with more power and
certainty than remedies administered by the
stomach. To prove the powerful aud direct
influence Of this mode of administration, chic
roform inhaled will entirely destroy sensibil-
! lty IN few minutes, paralyzing the entire
nervous system, so that limb may be ampu-
tated without The slightest pain; inhaling the
ordinary burning gus will destroy life in
few hours.
The inhalation Of ammonia will rouse tho
system when fainiing or apparently dead
The odor of many of the medicines is percep-
tIbie in the skin u few minutes after being in
hailed, and may be Immediately detected in
the blood, A convincing proof of The consfi-
tutional effects OF inhalation, is the fact that
sickness isaways produced by breathing foul
aIr-is not this positive evidence that proper
remedies, carefully prepared and judiciousIy
administered through the lungs should pro-
duce the happiest results! 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 alter 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 on long
experience and thorough investigation NV
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
ybeing mistaken even in single case. This
familiarity, in connection with certain paiho-
logical and microscopic discoveries, enables
me to relieve the lungs from the effects of
contracted chests, to enlarge the chest, puri-
fy the blood, impart to it renewed vitality,
giving energy and tone to the entire system.
Medicines with tnll directions sent 10 any
part OF the United Suites and Canadas by pa
tlents Communicating their symptoms by Iei-
ter. But the cure would be more certain if
the patient should pay me visit, which
would gre me an opportunity to examine the
lungs and enable the to prescribe with much
greater certainly, and then the cure could he
effected without my seeing the patient again.
