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


Which conv.ya the remedies to the cavities
the lungs, through the air passages, and com

Zes The tubercular matter, allays the cough, cau-
scs free and easy expcctoration, heals the
lungs, puritcs the blood, impaits renewed vital
ity to the nervous system giving that tone and
energy so indispensable for the restoration of
health. To he 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 ms 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 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 scourge, which annually destroys ninety
five thousand persons in the United States alone
and correct calculation shows that of the pres
cnt population OF the earth, eighty millions arc
destined to fill the Consumptire's grave.
Truly the quivcr of death has no arrow so IA
tai as Consumption. In all ages it has been the
great enemy of life, for spares neither age nor
SEX but sweeps off alike the brave. the beautiful
the graceful ard the gifted. BY the help of
that Supreme Being from whom comcth every
good and perfect gift am enabled to offer to
the afflicted permanent and speedy cure in
Consumption. The first cause of tuberclcs is
from impure blood, and the immediate effect
produced Ivy 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-
tiona 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
| breathing easy, after inhaling remedies. Thus,

During eighteen years practice many thousands
