INHALATION In CONSUMPTION

PRONCHETAS, Larygi.is, aad other diseases Of
j , the Chest and Throat, successfully treated by
the inhalation of Medical Napors and Powders dy
absorption and constitutional treatment, prac
ticed at the Stuyvesunt Medical Institute. New
York.
The unprecedented success which has attended
this method of treating diseases of the lungs and
throat, has induced us to depart from our usual
course and avail ourselves of the columns of the
Press, IN order to bring to the knowledge of such
as may be iaboilng under, or predisposed to such
affections. The dawn of brighter day has mriv-
ed for the Consumptive; the doctrine of the incura
bi.ity of Consumption having at length passed
away. We have indubitabe proofs in our posses
sion, that Consumption, an Az as stages, be
e,fred-in the fiEst, by tubercular absorptions; in
the second by the transformation of tubercale into
chalky and caicerous concreuons; in the third by
cicatriceg scars. Those welded to the opinions
of the past may assert. that even now consumption
is inctrable; such behind the age. To all this
great truth must be apparent, VIZ: that the me,l
cine inhaled in the form of Napor Powder, d-
rectly into the lungs, must be more efectual than
that taken into the stomach where the disease
does not exist The advantage of Inhalation in
consumption and throat diseases is, that medicine.

The inhaling method is soothing safe and s1eedg,
and consists in the administration Of medicines in
such manner that they are conveyed into the
lungs in the form OF vUpor and produce their action
at the seat Of the disease. Its prae teal success Is
