IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.
CONSUMPTION
and ALL
DISEASES or THE LUNGS AND THROAT
ARE POSITIVELY
CUR4RLE 3Y ENEEALATgOE,


EETHICH CONVEYS the remedies to the caFi-
/ w ties in the lungs through the air passa-
/ ges, and coming in direct contact with the
| disease. neutralZes the tubercular matter, al
! laws the cough, causes free and easy expec-
! toration, heals the lungs, purifes the blood,
iU1parts renewed vitality to the nervous system,
giving that tone and energy so Indispensable
/ for the restoration of health, To be able to
state confidently that Cousum rtion is durable
| by Inhalation, Is to me a source of UaJlloyed
/ pleasure Ii is as much under the control of
! medical treatment as any other formidable
I disease; ninety out Of every hundred cases
can be cured IN The first stages, and fifty per
cent. in the second but IL the third stage it
is impossible TO save more than five per cent,
for the Lungs are 50 cut up by the disease as
to bid defiance to medical skill. Even, how
ever, in the last stages, Inhalation affords ex-
traerdinary relief to the suffering attending
this fearful scourge, which annually destroys
ninety-fve thousand persons in the United
States alone; and correct calculation shows
that Of the present population of the earth,
eighty millions are destined TO fill the Con-
sumptive's graves.
Truly the quiver of death has no arrow so
fatal as Consumption. In all ages it has been
the great enemy Of life, for it spares neither
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-
ahbled to offer to the afflicted a permanent
and speedy cure in Consumption. The first
cause of tub arcles is from impure blood, and
the immediate effect produced by their depo-
sition in the lungs is to prevent the free ad-
mission Of air into the air cells which causes
a weakened vitality through the entire system.
Then surely it is more rational to expect great
er good from medicines entering the cavities
Of the lungs than from those administered
through the stomach; the patient will always
ind the lungs free and the breathing easy, af-
ter lnhaling remedies. Thus, InhaIatiQ9 is
local remedy, neVerth eless it acts constitution
ally, and with more power and certainty than
remedies administered by tle stomach. To
prove the powerful and direct influence of this
this mode Of administration, chloroform
inhaled will entirely destroy Sensibility in q
few minutes, paraiyzing the entire nervous
out the slightest pain; Inhaling the ordinary
burning gas will destroy life in few hours.
The inhalation Of ammonia will rouse the
system when fainting or apparently dead. The
odor of many Of the medicines is pcrceptible
in the skin few minutes after being inhaled,
and may be Immediately detected in the bloQd
A convincing proof Of the constitutional effects
of inhalation, is the fact that sickness is Gl-
ways produced by breathing foul air-is not
thiS positive evidence that proper remedies,
carefully prepared and judiciously adminis-
tered through the lungs should produce the
happiest results During eighteen years
practice, many THOUSANDS suffering from dis
eases of the lungs and throat, have been un-
der my care, and | have effected many remark
able cures, even after the sufferers had been
pronounced in the last stages, which fully sat
isfes me that consumption is no longer a fatal
disease. Ny treatment of consumption is
original, and founded on long experience and
thorough investigation. Ny perfect acquain-
tance with the nature Of tubercles, &c, ena-
bles me to distinguish readily, the various
forms Of disease that simulate consumption,
and apply the proper remedies, rarely being
mistaken even in a single case. This famil-
iarity, il connection with certain pathological
and microscopic discoveries, enables me to re-
lieye the lungs from the effects of contracted
chests, to enlarge the chest, purify the blood
impart to it renewed vitality, giving energy
and tone TO the entire system.
! Medicines with full directions seut to any
part of the United States and Canadas by pa
| tients communicating their symptoms by letter.
But the cure would be more certain if the
patient should pay me q visit, which would
give me an opportunity to examine the lungs
and enable mo to prescribe with much greater
certainty, and then the cure could be effected
without my seeing the patient again.
