AND ALL
Diseases Of the LUNGS and THROAT
CAN BE
CURED BY INHALATION.

Which conveys the remedies to the cavities
n the lungs, through the air passages, and COM

zes the tubercular matter, allsys the cough, cau-
ses a free and easy expectoration, heals the
lungs. purifes the blood, imparts renewed vital
ity TO the nervous system giving that tone and
energy so indispensable for the restoration of
health. To be able to state confidently that
Consumption is curable by inhalation is to me
a source of unalloyed pleasure. 1t is as much
under the control Of 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 in the third
stage IL is impossible TO save more that, five per
cent, for the lungs are 80 cut up by the disease
as to bid defiance to medical skill Even, how
ever, in the last stages, Inhalation affords extra
ordinary relief to the suffering attending this
fearful scourgc, which annually destroys ninety
Ave thousand persons in the United States alone :;
and a correct calculation shows that of the pres
ent population OF the earth eighty millions are
destined to fill the Consumptive's grave.
Truly the quiver of death has no arrow so fa-
tai as Consumption. In all ages 1t has been the
great enemy of life, for spares neither age nor
sex, but sweeps oil alike the brave. the beautiful

that Supreme Being from whom cometh every
good and perfect gin. am enabled to offer to
Consumption. Tie 6rst cause Of tuberclcs 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 system. Then surely il is more ra-
uomal to expect greater good from medicines
entering the cavities Of the lungs than from
those administered through the stomach; the
patient will always find the lungs free and the
