ing that tone and energy so indispensable fof
the restoration OF health. To be able TO state
confidently that Consumption is curable be
inhalation, is to me a source Of uBailoyed
pleasure 1t is much under the co1trolIos
medical treatment as any other formidable
disease; ninety out OF every hundred cases
can be cured in the first stages, and fifty per
cent in the second; but III the third stage it
is impossible 70 save more than 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 exI
traordinary relief TO the suffering attending
this fearful scoUrge, which annually destroys
nnety-five thousand persons in the United
States alone; and correct calculation shows
that OF the present population of The earth,
eighty millions are destined 10 fill the con-
4 sumptives graves.
Truly the quiyer of death has no arrow go
fatal as Consumption. In all ages il has been
the great enemy of life, for it spares neither
age nor sex, but sweeps off alike the brave,
the beautiful, the graceful and the gifted. By
the help of that Supreme Being from whow
: cometh every good and perfect gift, am en-
abled 10 offer TO the ffiIcled permanent and
J speedy cure in Consumption. The first cause
OF tuberclcs is from impure blood, and the inn
medae effect produced by their deposition
in the lungs Is 10 prevent the free admission
of air into the air cells, which ca uses wca-
kened vitality through The entire system
: Then surely it is more rational TO expect
greater good from medicines entering the
cavities of the lungs than from those admin
isered through The stomach; the patient viii
always find tie lungs free and the breathing
easy, after lnhaling remedies. Thus, lnha-
ha Iation is local remedy, nevertheless IL acts
constiutinnally, and with more power aud
certainty than remedies administered by The
stomach. To prove the powerful aud direct
! influence of this mode of administration, chic
rofnrm inha led will entirely destroy sensibll-
ty i'll few minutes, paralyziug The entire
nervous system, so that limb may be ampu-
tated without the slightest pain; iuhaling the
ordinary burning gas will destroy life in a

The odor of many of the medicines is percep-
tlble in the skin few minutes after being i'll
haled, and may be immediately detected in
the blood, A convincing proof Of The consii-
j tutona effects of inhalat is the fact tha /
sickness is always produced by brea thing foul
airs not this positive evidence that proper
remedies, carefully prepared and judciollsly
? administered through the lungs should pro-
duce the happicst results! During eighteen
= years practice, many thousands suffering
d from diseases of the lungs and throat, have
been under my care, and have effected many
remarkable cures, even after the sufferers
have been pronounced in the last stages,
b. which fully satisfies me that consumption Is
le no longer fatal disease. Ny treatment OF
consumption is original, and founded OH long
ei experience and thorough investigation. Nv

ybeing mistaken even in single case. This
familiarity, in connection with certain paiho-
OF logical and microscopic discoveries, enables
