Which conveys the remedies to the cavities

Ing in direct contact with the disease, neutrnl-
zcs the tubcrcular matter aays the cough, cau-
ses free and easy expectoration, heals the
lungs, puriiics the blood, imparts renewed vital

CLERGY so Indispensable for the restoration of
health. To be able to state confidently that
Consumption is curablc by inhalation, is to me
source of unalloycd pleasure. 1t is as much
under the control of medical treatment as any
other formidable disease; ninety out of every
hundred cases can be cured IL, .ha first stages,
and fifty per cent in the second, bu' IN The third
stage it is impossible to save more ,nan 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 scoprgc, which annually destroys ninety
five thousand persons III the United States alone;
and 4 correct calculation shows that of the pres
cnt population OF thC earth, eighty millions are
destined to fill the Consumptivc's grave.
| Truly the quivcr of death has no arrow SO ia
tai as Consumption. In all ages it has hccn the
great enemy of life for il spares Icitncr age nor
ceT, but sweeps otfalkc thc brave, the beautiful
the graceful ard the gifted. BY the help Of
| that Supreme Being from whom comcth every
| good and perfect gift am enabled to offer to
! the afflicted permanent and speedy cure III
Consumption. The first cause of tubcrclcs is
! from impure blood, and the immediate effect
produced by their deposition in the lungs is TO
| prevent the free admission of air into the air
| cells, which causes a weakened vitality through
the entire system. Then surely it is more ra-
uonal to expect greater good from medicines
| entering the cavities Of the lungs than from
those administered through the stomach the
patient will always find the lungs free and the
| breathing easy, after inhaling remedies Thus
Inhalation is local remedy, nevertheless il acts
| constitutionally, ana with more power and GER
tainty than remedies administered bv the stom.
ach. To prove the powerful and direct intu-
cncc of this mode of administration, ch!oroform
inhaled will entirely destroy scnSibility in few
| minutes, paralyZing the entire nervous system,
SO that limb may be amputatcd without the
slightest pain; inhalnG the ordinary burning
gas will destroy life in few hours.
| The inhalation of ANN )nia will rouse the
system when tainting or apparently dead. The
odor OF many OF the medicines ii pcrccptiblc
i'll the skin icS minutes after being inhaled,
and may be Immediately detected in the blood.
\ convincing proof of the constitutional effects
of inhalation, is the fact that sickness i always
produced by breathing foul airs this not pos.
| tive evidence that proper remedies, carefully
prepared and judiciously administered through
the lungs should produce the happiCst results :
During eighteen years practice many thousands
suffering from diseases OF the lungs and throat,
| hINc bccl under my care, anu l tldNC elected
many remarkable cures even aflrr the sufferers
had been pronounced in the last stages, which
iulIy satisfies me that consumption is no longer
a fatal disease. Wy treatment of consumption
Is original, and founded on long experience and
IA thorough investigation. Ny perfect acquaiu-
tancc with the nature of tubcrclcs. &C., enables
me to distinguish, readily the various forms OF
disease that simulate consumption, and apply
the proper remedies, rarely being mistak Ell
even in single case. This familiarity, in con.
ncction with certain pathological and mcros.
copc discoveries, enables me 10 rclicYc the
lungs from the effects of contracted chests, Ia
enlarge the chest, purify the blood, impart to il
rene"cu "'taIty, giving energy and tone to the
entire system.
