renewed vitality TO the nervous system, give
ing that tone and energy so indispensable for, ,
the restoration OF health. To be able 10 state .
confidently that Consumption is curable be-
inhalation, is to me source of unalloyeda
pleasure. II is much under the control Of
medical treatment as 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 10 save more than five per cent.
! tor the Lungs are so cut up by the disease as
| to bid defiance TO medical skill. Even, how
ever, the last stages, Inhalation affords ex-
traordInary relief TO the suffering attending
this fearful scourge, which annually destroys
nInety-hve thousand persons in the United
States alone; and correct calculation shows
that oil the present population of the earth,
/ eighty millions are destined 10 fill the con-
sumptve's graves.
/ Truly the quiver Of death has no arrow so
fatal as Consumption. In all ages il has been
the great enemy of life, forsit 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 10 offer TO the afflicted permanent and
4 speedy cure in Consumption. The fret cause
OF tuberclcs is from impure blood, and the i'm
mediute effect produced by their deposition
in the lungs is to prevent the free admission
of air into the air cells, which causes wea-
kened vitality through the entire system
Then surely it is more rational TO expect
greater good from medicines entering the
cavities of the lungs than from those admin
lstered through the stomach; the patient will
always find the lungs free and the breathing
easy, after 'lhaling remedies. Thus, lnha-
halaton is a local remedy, nevertheless II acts
constitutionally, and with more power and
certainty than remedies administered by the
stomach. To prove the powerful and direct
influence Of this mot of administration, chlo-
roform inhaled will entirely destroy sensibil-
ity IN few minutes, paralyzng the entire
nervous system, so that limb may be ampu-
tated without the slightest pain; inhaling the
ordinary burning gas will destroy life in a
few hours gfEts
Al
system when flaming or apparently dead
The odor of many of the medicines is percep-
tlble in the skin few minutes after being in
haled, and may be Immediately detected in
the blood, convincing proof of the consti-
tutional effects of inhalation, is the fact that
sickness isalways produced by breathing foul
airs not this positive evidence that proper
remedies, carefully prepared and judiciously
administered through the lungs should pro-
duce the happiest results! During eighteen
years practice, many thousands suffering
from diseases of the lungs and throat, have
been under my care, and have effected many
remarkable cures, even after the sufferers
have been pronounced in the last stages,
which fully satisfies me that consumption is
2 no longer fatal disease. My treatment Of
consumption is original, and founded on long
experience and IA thorough investigation. My
perfect acquaintance with the nature of tuber-
c!es, &c, enables me to distinguish, readily,
the various forms ofdisease that simulate con-
sumption, and apply the proper remedies, rare.
Iybelng mistaken even in single case This
familiarity, In connection with certain patho-
n logical and microscopic discoveries, enables
me to relieve the lungs from the effects of
contracted chests, TO enlarge the chest, puri-
fy the blood, lmpart to it renewed vitality,
giving energy and tone to the entire system.
Medicines with full directions sent 10 nv
part Of the United States and Canadas by pa
tlents Communicating their symptoms by let
ter. But the cure would be more certain if
the patient should pay me visit, which
would give ME an opportunity TO examine the
lungs and enable Inc to prescribe with much
greater certainty, and then the cure could be
effected without my seeing the patient again
