AND ALL
Diseases of the LUNGS and THROAT

CURED BY INHALATION.

health. To be able to state confidently that
Consumption is durable by inhalation, is to me
n source of unaloyed pleasure. 1t is as much
under tho 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 extra
ordinary relief to the suffering attending this
fearful scourgc, which annually destroys ninety.
five thousand persons in the United States alone !;
and q correct calculation shows that of the pres.
ent population Of the earth, eighty millions are
destined to fill the Consumptivc's grave
Truly the quvcr of death has no arrow so fa.
tai as Consumption. In all ages it has been the
great enemy Of life for it spares neither age nor
sex, but sweeps of alike the brave. the beautiful
the graceful ard the gifted. BY the help Of
that Supreme Being from whom cosncth every
good and perfect gift am enabled TO offer to
the afflicted q permanent and speedy cure in
Consumption. The first cause of tubcrces 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 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 local remedy, nevertheless il acts
conStitutionaly and with more power and Ger.
tainty than remedies administered by the stom.
ach. To prove the powerful aud direct inhu.
cnce of this mode Of administration, chlorofom
inhaled will entirely destroy scnsibility in few
minutes, pa'alyaing the entire nervous system,
~ that limb may be amputatcd without the
slightest pain; imhalng the ordinary burning
gas will destroy life in few hours.
The Inhalation OF ammonia will rouse the
system when iaintlng or apparently dead. The
odOr OF many of the medicines j. pcrrcD,ible

and may be Immediately detected in the blood
n convincing proof Of the constitutional effects
oi inhalation. is the fact that sickness is always
produced by breathing foul airs this not pos.
iaVc evidence that proper remedies, carefully
prepared and jadtCiousIy administered through
the ln''gs should produce the happicst results {?
During eighteen years practice many thousands
suffering from diseases Of the lungs and throat,
nave been under my care and have effected
many remarkable cures, even after the sufferers
had been pronounced in the last stages, which
iuliy satisfies me that consumption is no longer
iatal disease. Ny treatment of consumption
Is original, and founded on long g xperience and
thorough investigation. Ny perfect acquain-
tancc with the nature Of tubercles &c, enables
me To distinguish. readily, the various forms Of
disease that simulate consumption, and apply
the proper remedies, rarely being mistaken
even IN single case. This familiarity, in con.
nection with cer:aiu pathological aud micros-
copic discoveries, enables me to relieve the
tungs from the effects of contrscted chests. to
enlarge the chest, purify the blood, impart TO il
renewed vitality, giving energy and tone to the
entire system.
Medicines with full directions sent TO any
part Of the United States and Canadas by pa
tIcnts communicating their symptoms by letter.
but the cure would be more certain if the
patient should pay me visit, which would give
an opportunity To examine the lungs and enable
me To prescribe with much greater certainty,
and then the cure could be effected without INV
seeing the patient again. All letters asking
acvice must contain postage stamp.
