Truly the quivcr Of death has no arrow so fatal as
Consumption. In all ages IL has been the great
enemy Of life for il spares neither age sex, but
sweeps of alike the brave, the beautiful the grace

than from those administered through the stomach;
the patient will always find the lungs free and the
breathing easy, after inhaling remedies. Thus In
halation is local remedy, nevertheless IL acts con-

remedies administered by the stomach. To prove
the powerful and direct influence Of this mode Of nd

nervous system, so that a limb may be amputated
without the slightest pain inhaling the ordinary
burning gas will destroy life in few hours

constitutional effects Of inhalation is the fact that

through the lungs should produce the happiest re-
