The agpYece5emted Success which has attended
this method Of treating diseases of the lungs and
throat, has induced us to depart from our usual
course, and avail ourselves of the columns of the
Press, in order TO bring to the knowledge Of such
as may be laboring under, or pre .isposed to such
affections. The dawn Of brighter day has arriv-
ed for the Consumptive the doctrine of the incura-
biiity of Consumption having at length passed
away. We have indubitable proofs in our posses
sion, btdt Consumption, ~ Az ats stGges can be
c,red'-in the FIRST bv tubercular absorptious; in
the second, by the transformation of ubercale into
chalky and cacerous concretions; in the third, by
cicatricey or sears Those welded to the opinions
of the past may assert that even now consumption
is incurable; snch behind the age. To all this
great truth must be apparent, VIZ that the medi-
cine inhaled in the form OF Napor or Powder, di-
rectly into the lungs, must be more efectual than
that taken into the stomach, where the disease
does not exist. The advantage of inhalation in
consumption and throat diseases Is, that medicine
IN the form of vapor are applied directly to the
lungs, where the disease exists the stomach is thus
left free to aid in restoring by administering to it
healthy ife-giving food. There is 40 case hope

brought within the reaab Of all, the manner of
administering the Eapors being simple that the
invalid is never required to leave home where the
band OF friendship and affection tends so much to
aid the physicians efforts.
The inhaiing method is soothing safe and sDoelg,
and consists in te administration of medicines in
such manner that they conveyed into the
lungs ia the form of ypor and produce their action
at the seat of the disease. It's practical success i
destined to revoIutionize the opinions Of the nedi-
cal world and establish tie entjTc cterG6iEty OF
