IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.
CONSUMPTION
AND ALL
DISEASES OF THE LUNGS AND THROAT
ARE POSITIVELY
gVRANE.E BY FNgikLATION.

State confidently that Consumption is durable
by inhalation. is - Ine q source Of unalloyed
pleasure. Il is as much under the control OF
medical treatment 2S 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 thaa FIVE per cent,
for the Lungs are 50 cut up by the disease as
10 bid defiance 10 medical skill. Even, how
ever in the last stages, Inhalation affords ex-
traordinary relief TO the suffering attending
this fearful scowge, which annually destroys
nnety-fye thousand persons in the United
States alone and a correct calculation shows
that Of the present populatio0 OF the earth,
eighty millions are destined to FIJI the Con-
Sumptye's graves.
Truly the culver of death has no arrow so
fatal as Consumption. In all ages it has been
the great enemy OF life, for it spares neither

tn: beautiful, the graceful and the gifted. By
the help Of that Supreme Being from whom
cometh every good and perfect gift | am en-
ahbled to offer to the afflicted permanent
and speedy cure in Consumption. The first
cause OF tubercles is from impure blood, and
the immediate effect produced by their depo-
sition in the lungs is to prevent the free ad-
mission Of air into the air cells, which causes
Il weakened vitality through the entire system
Then surely it is more rational to expect great
er good from medicines entering the cavities
Of the lungs than from those administered
through the stomach: the patient will always
ind the lungs free and the breathing easy, af-
ter Inhaling remedies. Thus, Inhalation is
local remedy, nevertheless it acts constitutions
ally, and with more power and certainty than
remedies administered by the stomach. To
prove the powerful and direct influence of this
this mode of admin stration, chloroform
inhaled will entirely destroy sensibility in a
few minutes, paralyzing the entire nervous
system, SO that limb may be amputated with
out the slightest pain; Inhaling the ordinary
burning gas viii destroy life in few hours.
The inhalation of ammonia will rouse the
system when fainting or apparently dead. The
odor of many of the medicines is perceptble
in the skin few minutes after being inhaled,
aGd may be Immediately detected in the blood.
\ convincing proofof the constitutional effects
of inhalation, is the fact that sickness is al
ways produced 10y breathing foul air--is not
this positive evidence that proper remedies,
carefully prepared and judiciouSly admins
tered through the lungs should produce the
happicst results? During eighteen years
practice many thousands suffering from dis
eases of the lungs and throat, have been I'M
der my care, and have effected many remark
able cures, even after the sufferers had been
pronounced in the last stages, which fully sat
isfies me that consumption is no longer fatal
disease. Ny treatment of consumption is
original, and founded on long experience and
a thorough investigation. Ny perfect acquain-
tance with the nature of tubercles, &c, ena-
bles me to distinguish, readily, the various
forms of disease that simulate consumption,
and apply the proper remedies, rarely being
mistaken even in a single case. This tamil-
iariJy, in connection with certain pathological
and microscopic discoveries, enables me to re-
iieve the lungs from the effects OF contracted
chests, to enlarge the chest, purify the blood.

But lie cure would be more certain if the
us..c4t should pay me a visit, which would
give me an opportunity to examine the lungs
and enable me to prescribe v It'll much greater
certainty, and then the cure could be effected
without my seeing the patient again.
