tenn, giving that tone and energy so ind;s-
pensable Tor the restoration of health. To be
able 10 state confidently that Consumption is
curable by Inhalation. is TO me a source of
unaloyed pleasure. II is az much under the
control OF medical treatment as airy ,ther
formidable dIooure; ninety out oil every hun
dred cases can be cured in The first stages,
and fifty per cent. in the second; but in the
third stage il is impossible 10 save more than
five per cent, for The lungs are so cut up BY
the disease as 10 bid defiance 10 medical
skill. Even, however, in the last stages, in.
halation affords extraordinary relief 10 the
suffering attending this fearful scourge, which
annually destroys ninety five thousand per.
sons in The United States alone; and correct
calculation shows that out of The present pop
ulation of the earth, eighty millions are des-
tined 10 fill The consumplIve's grave.
Truly the quiver Of death has no arrow so
fatal as Consumption. In all ages il has been
the great enemy of life, for il 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 comeih every good and perfect gift,
am enabled 10 offer 10 the afflicted perma-
nent ard speedy cure in Consumption. The
first cause OF tnbercles 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
rational 10 expect greater good from medi
cnes entering The cavilies OF the lungs than
from those administered through the slon-
ach; The patient will always find the lungs
free and the breathing easy after inhang
remedies. Thus, inhalation is local
remedy, nevertheless il acts constulionally,
and with more power and certainty than rem
edies administered by the stomach. To prove
the powerful and direct influence oil this
mode OF administration, chloroform inhaled
will entirely destroy sensibliiy in few min
ules, paralyZing the entire nervous system, SO
that limb may be amputaled without the
slightest pain inhalng the ordinary burning
gas will destroy life in few hours.
The inhalation Of ammonia will rouse the
system when fainting or apparently dead
The odor of many of the medicines is per-
ceplble in The skin few minutes after being
inhaled, and may be Immediately detected
in the blood. A convincing proof of The
constitutional effects OF inhalation, is the fac,
that sickness is always produced by BREATH
ing foul air. Is not this positive evidence
that proper remedies, carefully prepared and
judiciously administered through ihe lungs,
should produce the most happy results? Du-
ring eighteen years. practice, many lbous-
ands, suffering from diseases of the lungs
and throat, have been under my care, and
have affected many remarkable cures, even
afler the sufferers had been pronounced in
the last stages, which fully satisfies me that
consumption is no longer fatal disease
My treatment of consumption ls original, and
founded on long experience and a thorough
investigation. My perfect acquaintance with
the nature Of tubercles, &C., enables me 10
distinguish readily the various forms of dis.
ease that simulate consumption, and apply
the proper remedies rarely being mistaken
even in a single case. This familiarity in
connection with certain pathological and mi
croscopc discoveries, enables me 10 relieve
The lungs from the effects of contracted chests;
to enlarge The chest, purify the blood, impari

10 the entire system.
Medicines with full directions sent 10 any
part of the United States and Canadas by
patients communicating their symptoms by
letter. But the cure would be more certain
if the patient should pay me visit, which
would give me an opportunity 10 examine
the lungs and enable me 10 prescribe with
greater certainty, and then the cure could be
effected without my seeing the patient again.
