AND ALL
DISEASES OF THE LUNGS AND fHhOAF
ARE POSITIVELY
EErRAREE RY INHALATION,

NNTHICH conveys the remedies TO the caTl-
w ties in the lungs through the air passa-
res, and coming in direct contact with the
disease neutralizes the tubercular matter, al
laws the cough, causes a free and easy eXpec-
toraton, heals the lungs, purifes the blood,
mparts renewed vitality to the nervous system,
giving that tone and energy so indispensable
Tor the restoration Of health. To be able TO
state confidently that Consumption is curablc
bv inhalation, is to me Il source Of un&iloyoG
pleasure 1t is as much under tie control OF
medical treatment as any other formidable
disease ninety out of every hundred cases
can be cured III 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
10 bid defiance to medical skill. Even. how
ever, in the last stages, Inhalation affords eE-
traordinary relief TO the suffering attending
this fearful scourge, which annually destroys
ninety-fye thousand persons in the United
States alone; and a correct calculation shows
that Of The present population Of the earth
eighty millions are destined to FIJI the Con-
sumptiyes graves.
Truly the culver of death has no arrow so
fatal rs Consumption. In all ages it has been
the great enemy Of life, for it spares neither
rh. beautiful, the graceful and the gifted. By
the help of that Supreme Being from whom
cometh every good and perfect gift, | am en-
ahbled to offer to the afflicted a permanent
and speedy cure in Consumption. The first
cause Of tUbercles is from impure blood, and
the immediate effect produced by their depo
sition in the lungs is to prevent the free ad-
mission Of air into the air cells, which causes
a weakened vitality through the entire system.
Then surely II IS more rational to expect great
er good from medicines entering the cavities
Of the lungs than from those administered
through the stomach the patient will always
fl1 the lungs free and the breathing easy, at
ter InLalirg remedies. Thus, Inhalation is
local remedy, nevertheless it acts constitution
ally. and with more pUWer and Ccrtaluty than
remedies administered by the stomach. To
prove the powerful and direct influence Of thi>
this mode of administration chOrofoTm
inhaled will entirely destroy seusibility in
few minutes paralyZing the entire nervous
system, so that a limb may be amPutated with
out the slightest pain; InhaIng the ordinary
burning gas will destroy life in Il few hours.
The inhalation Of am nonia viii rouse the
