CURED BY INHALATION.
Which conveys the remedies TO the cavities
II the lungs, through the air passages, and COM
ing in direct contact with the disease, neutrali-
yes the tubercuar matter, alays the cough, csu-
ses free and easy expcctoation, heals the
lungs, purifes the blood, imparts renewed vital
ty to the nervous sys,nm giving that tone end
energy so Indispensable for the restoration of
health. To be able to state confidently that
Consumption is curable by inhalation, is to me
a source of unaloyed pleasure. 1t is as much
under the control of medical treatment as any
other formidable disease; ninety out ot 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 are so cut up by the disease
as TO bid defiance to medical skill. Even, how.
ever, in the last stages, Inhalation affords extra
ordinary relief to the suffering attending this
fearful scourge, which annually destroys ninety
five thousand persons in the United States alone
and correct calculation shows that Of the pres
ent population of the earth, eighty millions are
destined to fill the Consumptivcs grave.
Truly the quver OF death has arrow so ia
tai Consumption. In all ages IT has been the
great enemy of life, for il spares neither age nor
sex, but sweeps oifalikc the brave. the beautiful
the graceful ard the gifted. BY the help of
that supreme Being from whom comcth every
good aud perfect gin, am enabled to offer to
the afflicted permanent and speedy cure in
Consumption. The first cause of tubcrclcs il
from impure blood, and the Immediate effect
produced by their deposition in The lungs is to
prevent the free admission of mir into the air
cells, which causes n weakened vitality through
thu entire system. Then surely il is more ra
uonal to expect greater good from medicines
entering the cavities of the lungs tl,an from
those administered through the stomach the
patient will always find the lungs free and the
breathing easy, after inhalug remedies. Thus,
lIhalaton il n local remedy, nevertheless il acts
constitutionally, and with more power aud Ger.
tainty than remedies administered by the stom.
ach. To prove the powerful and direct intiu-
ence of this mode OF administration, chloroform
inhaled will entirely destroy sensbility in few
MINUTES, paralyzng the entire nervous system
so that u limb may he anputatcd without the
slightest pain; imhang the ordinary burning
gas will destroy life in few hours
The inhalation of ammonia will rouse the
system when tainting or apparently dead. The

During eighteen years practice many thousands
suffering nom diseases OF the lungs and throat
have been under my care, and / have effected
many remarkable cures, even after the sufferers
had been pronounced in the last stages which
fully satisfies me that consumption is no longer
a fatal disease. Ny treatment of consumption
Is original, AMI founded on long Experience and
a thorough investigation. Ny perfect acquain-
tance with the nature of tubercics. &C., enables
me To distinguish readily, the various forms Of
disease that simulate consumption, and apply
the proper remedies, rarely being mistaken
even III "A single case. This familiarity, in con.
ncctIon with certain pathological aud microS-
copic discoveries, enables me TO relieve the
lungs from the effects Of contracted chests, 10
enlarge the chest, purify the blood, mpart To il
renewed vitality, giving energy and tone to the
entire system.

But ihs care would b. more certain if the
patient should pay me visit, which would give
nh opportunity to examine the lungs and enable
me TO prescribe with much greater certainty,
and then the cure could be effected wthou: my
