INHALATION IN CONSUMPTION

pRONCHITAS, Larygtis, and other diseases of
ID the Chest and Throat, successfully treated by
the inhalation of Medical Napors and Powders, 6y
absorption end constitutional treatments as prac-
ticed at the Stuyvesant Medical Institute, New
York.
The Gnpreecdet,tcd saeccess 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 n to bring to the knowledge of such
may be laboring under, predisposed to such
affections. The dawn Of brighter day has airiv-
ed for the Consumptive the doctrine of the incura
biiity of Consumption having at length passed
away We have indubitabie proofs in our posses
sion, that Consumption, a, all It's stages can be
ctTed!in the first, by tubercular absorptions; in
the second, by the transformation of ubercale into
chalky and calcerous cuncretions in the third by
ccatriceg or scars. Those welded to the opinions
of the past may assert that even now consum ption
is incurable; such are behind the age. To all this
great truth must be apparent, viz: that the medi-
cine inhaled in the form of Vapor or Powder, d-
ectly into the lungs must be more effectual than
that taken into the stomach where the disease
does not exist. The advantage of inhalation in
consumption and throat diseases is, that medicine
ia the form of vapor are applied directly to the
lungs, where the disease exists; the stomach is thus
left free to aid i'll restoring by administering to it
healthy, hfe-giving food. There is case so hope
les that Inhalation wiH not rcachi The means too
are brought within the reaah Of all the manner of
administering the Vapors being so simple that the
invalid is never required to leave home, where the
hand of friendship and affection tends so much to
aid the physicians efforts.
The inhaling method is soothing safe and speedy
and consists in the administration of medicines in
such manner that they conveyed into the
lungs in the form of vrpor, and produce their action
ut the seat of the disease. Its practical success is
destined TO revolutonize the opinions of the medi-
cal world, and establish tho entire curc5iiity of
Consumption.
] earnestly appeal to the common sense of all
afflicted with lung diseases to embrace at once the
advantages of inhalation; and no longer apply me-
dicines to the unofcnding stomach / claim for in
