A New Treatment for Consumption.


To the Editors of the Crescent-G Gentlemen The
increasing frequency of consumption is truly alarm
ing, and its tendency to fatal termination is uni
yersally known. The evidence Of the durability Of
this disease is nndenabe, yet find the remedies of
the regular profession unavailiug. Consumption is
constitutional disease-a morbid condition Of the
bio d-and secondarily disease of the substance of
the lungs In order to answer the many inquiries in
regard to my treatment will here give brief de-
s2rpdon
LIST. My object is to give such medicines internally
as will neutralize this morbid condition Of the blood
equaze the secretions and give strength and energy
to every part of the system.
I'd. To expand the lungs and thereby increase their
capacity, which enables them to arteriaze the blood
more thoroughly For this purpose l have an in
haler of my invention, which is much more effect
ual than anything Of the kind before the public.
3D. We apply local remedies to the seat of the dis
ease by means of inhaling medcated vapors. have
compounded my medicines so as to nhae cold yapors
from them, they far preferable to vapors
for the following reasons They add tone and strength
to the substance of the Lungs and allay irritation.
They also fortify the system from taking cold where
as warm vapors rather predspose person to take
cold
4th. By combining the medicated vapors with the
expansive power Of the Inhaler, we are enabled to
force the vapor into the remote air cells of the lungs
and into the diseased portions, whereas with
mon Inhaler the vapOr is but very imperfecty con.
yeyed to the seat of the disease. With my Inhaler
l have succeeded in expanding the chests of some
patients from five to six inches
9Th. In some cases, I use Galvanic bath, which
acts very benefciay on the nervous system aud Sc
cretions
will take pleasure in explaining my treatment
more fully to all who may call upon me at my rooms,
fearing I may trespass too much your columns if
