BRONCHITIS, LARYNGYTIS, and other
ID diseases of the Chest an Throat success
fully treated by the Inhalation of Medicated
vapors and Powders by absorption and consti-
tut:onal treatment, as practised at the "Stuy-
vestant Medical Institute" New York city.
The Unprecedented success which has at
tended this method of treating diseases of the
Lungs and Throat, has induced US to part from
our usual course, in order to bring it to the
knowledge of such as may be laboring under
or predisposed to such Affections.
The dawn of a brighter day has at length
arrived for the c~onsumptive. The doctrine of
the incurability of Consumption has at length
passed away. We have lndubitable proofs in
our possession, that Consumption in all its
stages can be cured in the first, by tubercular
absorption in the second by transformation
of tubercule into chalky and calcarous concre-
tions in The third by cicatrices or scars. Those
welded to the past, my assert that even now
Consumption is incurable such are behind
the age. To all this, great truth must be ap-
parent, viz: that medicines inhaled in the
form of vapor or Powder directly into the
Lungs must be more e~ffectual than that taken
into the stomach, where the disease does not
exist.
The advantage of Inhalation in Consump-
ton and Throat Diseases is, the stomach is
thus left free to aid in restoring, by admins
tering to it healthy life-giving food. There is
no case so hopeless that inhalation will not
reach. The means too, are brought within
reach of all, the manner of administers g the
vapnrs being so simple that the invalias are
never required to leave home, were the hand
OF friendship and affection tend SO much to aid
the physicians efforts.
The Inhalation method is soothing, safe and
speedy, and consists in the administration of
medicines in such a manner that they are con-
veyed into the lungs il the form of Vapor and
produce their action at the seat of the disease.
Its practical success is destined to revolution
ize the medical world. and establish the entire
durability of Consumption.
I earnestly appeal to the common sense of
all afflicted with lung diseases, to embrace at
once the advantage of Inhalation /; and no Ion
ger apply medicines to the unoffending stom-
ach. l claim for Inhalation a place among the
priceless gifts nature and art hath given us.
