IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.
CONSUMPTION
AND ALL
DISEASES of the LUNGS and THROAT
CAN BE
AND ALL
CURED BY INHALATION.

WHICH CONVEYS THE REMEDIES TO THE
w cavities in the lungs, through the air passages
and coming in direct contact with the disease beu-
tralzes the tubercular matter aays the cough causes
free and easy expectoration heals the lungs puri-

vous system giving that tone and energy 50 indis-
pensabe for the restoration of health To be able TO
state confidently that Consumption is durable by in
halation is 10 me source Of unaloyed pleasure. IL
is as much under the control of medical treatment
any other formidable disease ninety out of every
hundred cases 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 cut up by the disease to bid de-
fance 70 medical skill.-Even, however in the last
stages Inhalation affords extraordinary relief to the
suffering attending this eafu scourge which annu-
ally destroys ninety-fve thousand persons in the
United States alone; and correct calculation shows
that Of the present population Of the earth, eighty
millions arc destined 10 fill the Consumptive's grave.
Truly the culver Of death has arrow so fatal as
Consumption. In all ages it has been the great
enemy OF life for II spares neither age sex, but
sweeps off alike the brave, the beautiful the grace
full 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 apernanent
and speedy cure in ConsuuRton. The first cause OF
tubercles is from impure blood, and the immediate
effect produced by their deposition in the lungs is 10
prevent the free admission Of air into sthc air cells,
which causes weakened vitality through the entire
ystem. Then surely u is more rational 10 expect
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 inhalng remedies. Thus, In
halaton is local remedy nevertheless il acts con-
sttutionally, and with power and certainty than
| remedies administered by the stomach. To prove
the powerful and direct influence Of this mode of adj
ministraton, chloroform inhaled will entirely destroy
| sensibity in few minutes, paralyzing the entire
nervous system, so that limb may be amputated
without the slightest pain; inhalng the ordinary
| burning gas will destroy life in few hours.
The inhalation of ammonia will rouse the system
when alnting or apparently dead. The odor Of many
| Of the medicines is perceptible in the skin a few
minutes after being inhaled, and may be immediate
| y detected in the blood A convincing proof OF the
constitutional effects Of inhalation is the fact that
sickness is always produced by breathing foul air
is this not positive evidence that proper remedies,
carefully prepared and judiciously administered
through the lungs should produce the happicst re-

sands suffering from diseases Of the lungs and throat
have been under my care, and have effected many
remarkable cures, even after the sufferers had been
pronounced in the last stages, which fully satisfies
me that consumption is no longer fatal disease. MY
! treatment Of consumption is original, and founded
on long experience and thorough investigation.
My perfect acquaintance with the nature OF tubercles,
&c, enables TO distinguish readily, the various
forms of disease that simulate consumption ana app

certain pathological and microscopic discoveries, en-
