IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.
CONSUMPTION :.
AND ALL w
Diseases of the Lungs and Throat
ARE POSITIVELY st
CTTRARIE BY INHALATION qgga


Which conveys the remedies 10 the cavities
in the lungs through the air passages, and
coming in direct contact with the disease,
n. utralizes the tubercular matter, alays the
cough, causes free and easy expectoration,
heals the lungs, Durfes the blood, imparts
renewed vitality to the nervous system, giy<
ing that tone and energy so indispensable for
the restoration Of health. TO be able TO state
confidently that Consumption is durable by
inhalation; is to me a source of uDalloyed
pleasure. 1t is much under the coatrol Of
medical treatment as any other formidable
disease; ninety ont 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 than five per cent,
for the Lungs ire so cut up by the disease az
to bid defiance TO medical skill. Even, how
ever, in the last stages, Inhalation affords exr
traordinary 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 present population Of The earth,
eighty millions are destined 10 fill the con-
sumptIve's graves
Truly the quIyer Of death has no arrow so
| 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 whom
cometh every good and perfect gift, am en-
abled TO offer TO the ff1cted permanent and
speedy cure in Consumption. The fret cause
OF tubercles is from impure blood, and the I'M
mediate effect produced by their deposition
IN The lungs Is To prevent the free admission
of air into the air cells, which causes a wea-
kened viiaii,y through the entire system
Then surely 1t is more rational to expect
greater good from medicines entering the
cavities of the lungs than from those admin
stered through the stomach; the patient Will
always find the lungs free and the breathing
easy, after Inhaling remedies. Thus, lnhu
halatlOn is a local remedy, nevertheless 1t acts
constitutiunally, and with more power and
certainty than remedies administered by :be'
stomach. To prove the powerful and direct
influence of this mode of administration, chic
rotorm inhaled viii entirely destroy senslbll-
ity in few minutes, paralyzIng The entire
nervous system, so that a hmb may be ampn-
tated without the slightest pain; iuhaliDg the
ordinary burning gas will destroy life in
few hours.
The inhalation OF ammonia will rouse tho
system when fainting or apPa rentIy dead.-
The OdOr of many of the medicines is perc~p-
tlbe in the skin few minutes after being in
hailed, and may be Immediately detected in
the blood, A convincing proof of The consii-
tutlOnal effects OF inha latlon, is the fact that
sickness is always produced by breathing foUl
alr-ls not this positive evidence that proper
., remedies, carefully prepared and judlclOusly
ADMINISTERED through the lungs should pro-
iduce the hopP!est results During eighteen
years practice, many thousands suffering
from diseases of the lungs aDd throat. have

which fully satisfies me that consumption IL
no longer fatal disease. My treatment of
consumption is original, and founded on long
experience and thorough Investigation. My
perfect acquaintance with the nature of t8Ser-,
Ecles, &c, enables me 10 distinguish. readily,
the various iOrms Of fdisease that simulate con-
sumption, a I'd apply the proper remedies, I'll Je

familiarity, IN connection with certain paibo-

, the patient should pay me visit, which
would give me an opportunity to examine the
lungs and enable the TO prescribe with much
greater certainty, and then the cure eooid he
