INHALATION IN CONSUMPTION

pRONCHITAS, Larygitis, and other diseases of
- the Chest and Threat, successfully treated by
the inhalation of Medical Vapors and Powders, by
absorption and constitutional treatment, as prac
ticed ut the Stuyvesant Medical Institute. New
York
The unprecedented success which has attended
this method of treating diseases of the lungs and
throat has induced us to depart from our usual
course, and avail ourselves of the columns of the
Press, in order to bring tn the knowledge of such
may be laboring under or predisposed to such
affections The daw of a brighter day has arriv-
ed for the Conslimptive; the doctrine of the incura
bi.ity of Consumption having at length passed
away. We have indubtabe proofs IN our posses
sion that Consumption, m aH ats stages caa be
curedi-in the first, by tubercular absorptions; in
the second, by the Transformation of tuberc;,le
chaiky and calcerous concretons III the third, 10y
cicatrices or scars Those welded to the opinions
of the past may assert that even consumption
is iucurable; such are behind the age. To all this
great truth must be apparent viz: that the me,li-
cine inhaled in the form OF Napor or Powder, di-
rectiy int the lungs, HG-' bo more etfcctual than
ti.at t1ESa iuto f,ie stomach where the uise,se.

in the form Of vapor applied directly to the
