Consumption is curablc by inhalation, is to me
a source of unalloycd 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,
aud fifty per cent in the second but in the third
stage it is impossible to 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 extra
ordinary relief to the suffering attending this
fearful scourgc, which annually destroys ninety
FIVE thousand persons in the United States alone
and correct calculation shows that OF the pres

destined to fill the Consumptiye's grave.

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 it is more ra-
uonal to expect greater good from medicines
eutcring 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 inhaling remedies. Thus,
