ses n free and easy expectoration, heals the
lungs, purifcs the blood, mparts renewed vital
ity to the nervous system giving that tone and
energy so indispensable for the restoration of
health. To be able 70 state confidently that
Consumption is cuIaUe by inhalation, is to me
source of unalloycd pleasure. 1t is as 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; hrt i the third
stage it is impossible to save NOR" .nan five per
cent, for the lungs are so cut up by the disease
as to bid defiance to medical skill. Even, how
ever, in the last stages Inhalation affords extra
ordinary relief to the suffering attending this
fearful scourgc, which annually destroys ninety
FIVE thousand persons in the United States alone
and correct calculation shows that of the pres
ent population of the earth, eighty millions are
destined to gil the Consumptive's grave.
Truly the quivcr of death has no arrow SO IA
tai as Consumption. In all ages it has been the
great enemy Of life, for it spares neither age nor
sex, but sweeps oT 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 enabled to offer to
the afflicted permanent and speedy cure in
Consumption. The hrst cause of tubercles is
from impure blood, and the immediate effect
produced by their deposition in The lungs is to
prevent the free admission of air into the air
cells, which causes a weakened vitality through
the entire system. Then surely il is more ra-
ional to expect greater good from medicines
entering the cavities of the lungs than from
those administered through the stomach; the
patient will always find the lungs free and the
breathing easy, after inhaling remedies. Thus
Inhalation is a local remedy, nevertheless il acts
constitutionaly, and with more power and Ger.
tainty than remedies administered by the stom-
ach. To prove the powerful and direct infu-
encc OF this mode of administration, chloroform
Inhaled will entirely destroy scnsibility in few
minutes, paralyzing the entire nervous system,
SO that limb may be amputated without the
slightest pain; inhaling the ordinary burning
gas will destroy life i'll few hours.
The inhalation of ammonia will rouse the
system when fainting or apparently dead The
odor OF many OF the medicines is perceptible
IN the skin few minuteS after being inhaled,
and may be Immediately detected in the blood.
\ convincing proof of the constitutional effects
OF inhalation, is the fact that sickness is always
produced by breathing foul airs this not pos
tive evidence that proper remedies, carefully
prepared and judciouSly administered through
the lungs should produce the happicst results =
During eighteen years practice many thousands
suffering from diseases Of the lungs and throat,
have been under my care, aud have effected
many remarkable cures. even after the sufferers
had been pronounced i'm the last stages, which
iuly satlshcS me that consumption is no longer
fatal disease. Ny treatment of consumption
Is original, and founded on long experience and
thorough investigation. Ny perfect acquan-
tancc with the nature Of tuberclcs, &c, enables
me to distinguish, readily. the various forms of
disease that simulate consumption, and apply
the proper remedies, rarely being mistaken
even i'll single case. This familiarity, in con.
nection with certain pathological and micros.
copic discoveries, enables me to relieve the
lungs from the effects. OF contracted chests, 10
enlarge the chest, purify the blood, impart to il
renewed vitality, giving energy and tone to the
entire system.
