RkONCIilTIS LARYNEITN and other Diseases
u Of the Chest and Throat, successfully treated by
the hnalaiion Of Msdicated Vapofs md Powders
BY aAso sbfion and consttutional treatment, a. prac.

The unprecedented success which has attended this
method of treating diseases of the Lungs and Throat,
has induced us to depart from our usual course, and
avail ourselves Of the Press, in order to bring it to
the knowledge of such as NAV be labosing under, OF
predisposed TO such affections.
The dawn of a brighter day ha. at length arrived
for the Consumptive. The doctiine of the incura.
b'hty Of Consumption has at length passed away. We
have indahitable proofs in our possession, HAT Con-
sumption IN al ITS stages can be cmred; in the first,
by tuberenlor absorption in the second bv the
Transformation Of fa6erche into cheiky and eaic~roas
c%oncretion ; in the third bv c~icotrices or scars. Those
welded to the past, may assert, that even now Con-
sumption is incur,bie such are behind the age. To
all this, this great truth must be apparent, viz: that
medicine INHALED in the form Of Vapor or Powder
directly into the Lungs, must be much more efectual
than that taken into the Stomach, where the disease
does not exist. f.
The advantage Of Inhalation in Consumption and
Throat diseases is, that medicines in the form OF
Vapor are applied directly to the Lungs where the
disease exists the stomach is thus LETT free to aid
in Restoring health, by administering to it healthy,
liie-giving food.
THERE Is NO CASE so HOPELESS,
that Inhalation will not reach! The means, too are
brought within the reach Of all, the administering
the Vapors being so simple that the invalid is never
required to leave home, where the hand of friend
ship and affection tends SO much to aid the physi-
clans efforts. .
The ~Inhaling method il soothing, safe and speedy,
and consists in the administration Of medicine ir
such a manner that they are conveyed into the Lungs
~ the form Of rupor, and produce Hpir action al TIE
Mat Of the disease. Its practical success is destined
to revolutionize the opinions Of the medical world,
and establish the entire durability of ronsem zion.
l earnestly appeal to the common sense of all
afflicted with Lung diseases, to embrace at once the
advantages Of Inhalation, and no longer apply medi-
cine to the unofiending stomach. / claim for Inha-
lation a place amongst the priceless gifts that nature
and art hath given us. that q our days may be long
