inhalation, is 10 me 4 source of unalloyed
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 il
is impossible to save more than five per cent!
for the Lungs Ire so cut up by the disease as
to bid defiance to medical skill. Even, how
ever, in the last stages, Inhalation affords ex-
traordinary relief to the suffering attending
this fearful scourge, which annually destroys
ninety-fve thousand persons in the United
States alone; and a correct calculation shows
that OF the present population of the earthy
eighty millions are destined 10 fill the con-
sumptIve's graves. a
Truly the culver Of death has no arrow SO
fatal as Consumption. In all ages il 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-
abled to offer TO The fflcted perma nent and
speedy cure in Consumption. The first cause
OF luberclcs is from impure blood, and the i'm
mediate effect produced by their deposition
in the lungs is TO prevent the free admission
of air into the air cells, which causes wca-
kened vitality through the entire system
Then surely it is more rational 10 expect
greater good from medicines entering the
cavities of the lungs than from those admin

always find the lungs free and the breathing

years practice, many thousands suffering
from diseases of the lungs and throat, have
been under my care, and have effected many
remarkable cures, even after the sufferers
