pensable for the restoration Of health To be able TO
state confidently that Consumption is curable by in
haation, is 10 me source of unaoyed pleasure. ID
is much under the control Of medical treatment
as any other formidable disease ninety ont of every
hundred cases be cured in the first stages and
Fifty per cent in the second; but in the third stage
it is impossible 10 more than FIVE per cent for
the Lungs are cut up by the disease 10 bid de-
fance 10 medical skill.--Eyen however, in the last
stages Inhalation affords extraordinary relief 10 the
suffering attending this feaful scourge which unnu-
ally destroys ninety-6ve thousand persons in the
United States alone; and rrect calculation shows
that OF the present populat Of the EARTH eighty
millions are destined to Gil the Consumptive's grave
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 of alike the brave the beautiful the grace
full and the gifted. BY the help Of that Supreme
Being from whom corneth every good and perfect
gift, am enabled 10 offer to the afflicted permanent
and speedy cure in Consumption. The first cause Of
tubercles 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 weakened vitality through the entire
ystem. Then surely it is more rational,to expect
goodfrom 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 inhaing remedies. Thus In
halaton Is local remedy, nevertheless IL acts
stitutonaly, and with power and certainty than
remedies administered by the stomach To prove
the powerful and direct influence OF this mode Of adj
ministraon, chloroform inhaled will entirely destroy
sensbility in few minutes, paralyzing the entire
nervous system so that limb may be amputated
without the slightest pain inhaling the ordinary
burning gas will destroy life in few hours
The Inhalation Of ammonia will rouse the system
when faintng OF apparently dead The odor Of many
Of the medicines is perceptible in the skin few
minutes after being inhaled and may be immediate
" detected in the blood convincing proof Of the
constitutional effects of inhalation is the fact that
sickness IL always produced by breathing foul air |
Is this not positive evidence that proper remedies
carefully prepared and judiciously administered |
through the lungs shonld produce the happiest re-
suits During eighteen years practice many thou /
sands suffering from diseases Of the lungs and throat
have been under my care, and have effected many
remarkable cures, after the sufferers had been
pronounced in the last stages, which fully satisfies
that consumption is longer fatal disease. MY
treatment Of consumption Is original, and founded
