the restoration OF health. To be able to state
confidently that Consumption is cursble be
inhalation, is 10 me source of unalloyea
pleasure. 1t 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 to save more than 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 ex-
traordinary relief to the suffering attending
this fearful scourge, which annually DESTROYS
nnety-tVe thousand persons in the United
States alone; and correct calculation shows
that OF the present population of the EARTH
eighty millions are destined to fill the con.
sumptive's graves
Truly the culver of death has no arrow 80
fatal as Consumption. In all ages it has been
the great enemy of life, for it 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 TO offer TO the afflicted permanent and
speedy cure in Consumption. The fret cause
OF tubercles is from impure blood, and the i'm
mediate effect produced by their deposition
in the lungs is to prevent the free admission
of air into the air cells, which causes a wea-
kened vitality through the entire system
| Then surely 1t is more rational 10 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 lnhaling remedies. Thus, lBha-
halation is local remedy, nevertheless il acts
constitutionally, and with more power and
certainty than remedies administered by :he
stomach. To prove the powerful and direct
influence of this mode of administration, chic
roiorm inhaled will entirely destroy seBsibi-

aIr-ls not this positive evidence that proper
remedies, carefully prepared and iudiciously
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
no longer a fatal disease. My treatment of
consumption is original, and founded on long
experience and thorough investigation. NY
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
ybelng mistaken even in a single case. This
familiarity, in connection with certain patho-
logical and microscopic discoveries, enables
me to relieve the lungs from rhe effects Of

the patient should pay me visit, which
would give me an opportunity to examine the
lungs and enable me to prescribe with much
greater certainty, and then the cure could be
effected without my seeing the patient again.
