toration heals the lungs, purlhes the blood,
imparts renewed vitality to the nervous system,
giving that tone and energy SO Indispensable
for the restoration of health. To be able to

medical treatment as any other formidable
disease; ninety out of every hundred cases
can be cured III the first stages, and fifty per
cent in the second; but in the third stage it
is impossible to save more than lye per cent,
for the Lungs are so cut up by the disease as
tc bid defiance to medical skill. Even, how
ever, in the last stages, Inhalation affords ex-
raordinary relief to the suffering attending

uney-fve thousand persons in the United
States alone and a correct calculation shows
that of the present population OF the earth,

cometh every good and perfect gift, | am en-
