Diseases of the Lungs and Threat

rJfPAPTE RY INHALATION yT

CURABLE BY 1NHALAT1UN,
Which conveys the remedies 10 the cavities
in the lungs through the air passages, and
coming in direct contact with the disease,
ncutralizes the tubercular matter, alIays the
cough, causes a free and easy expectoratlons
heals the lungs, Durfics the blood, impart-
renewed vitality to the nervous system, give
ing that tone and energy so indispensable for
the restoration ofheallh TO he able to state
confidently that Consumption is durable be
inhalation, is TO me a source Of unalloyed
pleasure. 1t is much under the control of
medical treatment as any other formidable
disease: ninety ont Of every hundred cases
can be cured in the first stages, aud fifty per
cent. in the second; but in the third stageit
is impossible TO save more than h'e per cent
for the Lungs are so cut u2 by the disease SO
to bid defiance to medical skill. Even, how
ever, in the last stages, Inhalation affords ex-
lraordinary relief to the suffering attending
this fearful scourge, which annually destroys
nlnety-tive thousand persons in the United
States alone; and correct calculation shows
that OF the present population of the earth,
eighty millions are destined 10 fill the con-
sumptive's grares.
Truly the quivcr Of death has no arrow so
fatal as Consumption. In all ages il has been
the great enemy of life, for it 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
cometh every good and perfect gift, am en-
abled to offer 70 the aillicted permanent and
speedy cure in Consumption. The first cause
of tubercics is from impure blood, and the iIn-
mediate effect produced BY their deposition
IN The lungs Is 10 prevent the free admission
Of air into the air cells, which causes wca-
kened vitality through the entire sysiem.-
Then surely 1t is more rational To- expect
greater good from medicines entering the
cavities of the lungs than from those admin
lstercd through the stomach; the patient will
always find the lungs free and the breathing
easy, after Inhalng remedies. Thus, Inha-
halation is a local remedy, nevertheless it acts
constitutionaily, and with more power and
certainty than remedies administered by The
stomach To prove the powerful and direct
influence Of this mode Of administration chlo-
roform inhaled will entirely destroy sensibil-
ty IN a few minutes, paralyzlng the entire
nervous system, so that lImb may be ampn-
tatcd without the slightest pain; inhaing the
ordinary burning gas will destroy life in
few hours.
The inhalation of ammonia will rouse the
system when fainling or apparently dead
The odOr of many of the medicines is perccp-
tbe in the skin few minutes after being in
hailed, and may be immediately detected in
the Blood convincing proof of the consti-
tutlonal effects of inhalation, is the fact that
sickness is always produced by breathing foul
airs not this positive evidence that proper
remedies, carefully prepared and judiciously
administered through the lungs should pro-
duce the happicst results! During eighteen
years Practice, many thousands suffering
from diseases Of The lungs and throat, have
been under my care, and have effected many
remarkable cures, even after the sufferers
have been pronounced in the last stages,
winch fully satisfies me that consumption is
no longer fatal disease. My treatment of
consumption Is original, and founded on long
experience and thorough investigation. NV
perfect acquaintance with the nature of tuber
c!es, &c, enables me TO distinguish, readily
the various farms ofdsease that simulate con
sumption, and apply the proper remedies, rare
lybeing mistak ken even in single case. This
familiarity, in connection with certain patho-
logical and microscopic discoveries, enables
me to relieve the lungs from the effects of
contracted chests, TO enlarge the chest, puri-
fy the blood, impart to it 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
tients cnmmunlcat ing their symptoms by let
ter. But the cure would be more certain If
the patient should pay Ire visit, which
would give me an opportunity to examine the
lungs and enable Ine to prescribe with much
greater certainty, and then the cure could he
effected without my seeing The patient again.
