Diseases of the Lungs and Throat
ARE POSITIVELY ia3 llat

CURABLE BY INHALATION iEsg
Which conveys the remedies 10 the cavities
IN the lungs through the air passages, and
coming in direct contact with the disease;
nc utralizes the tubercular matter, allays the
cough, causes free and easy expectorations
heals the lungs, Duriies the blood, impart-
renewed vitality to the nervous system, give
ing that tone and energy so indispensable for
the restoration of health. To he able to state
confidently that Consumption is curoble be
inhalation, is to me source Of unalloyed
pleasure. 1t is much under the control of
medical treatment as any other formidable
disease; ninety out of every hundred cases
Can be cured in tine first stages, and fifty per
cent. in the second; but in The third Stage il
is impossible to save more than FIVE per cent
for the Lungs are so cut up by the disease ss
to bid defiance to medical skill. Even, how
ever, in the last stages, Inha latiOn affords ex-
traordinary relief TO the suffering attending
this fearful scourge, which annually destroys
nlnety-fye. thousand persons in the United
States alone; and correct calculation sbows
that OF the present population Of the earth,
eighty millions are destined 10 fill the con-
sumptive's graves. -c tFW eef1sg
Truly the quiver 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 10 offer TO the fflicted permanent and
speedy cure in Consumption. The first cause
OF tubercics is from impure blood, andthe i'm
mediate effect produced by their deposition
in The lungs is to prevent the free admission
of air into the air cells, which causes a wea-
kened vitality through the entire system
Then surely it is more rational TO expect
greater good from medicines entering the
cavities Of the lungs than from those admin
istered through the stomach; the patient viii
always find the lungs free and the breathing
easy, after Inhaling remedies Thus, Inha-
halation is local remedy, nevertheless il 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, chic
roform inhaled will entirely destroy sensibil-
ity in IA few minutes, paralyzing The entire
> nervous system so thita limb may be aInpu-
tated without the slightest pain; inhaling the
ordinary burning gas will destroy life in .
few hours
system when fainiing or apparently dead
The odor of many Of the medicines is percep-
tible in the skin a few minutes after beng in
hailed, and may be immediately detected in
the blood, A convincing proof of the consti-
u tutlonal effects OF inhalation, is the fact that
sickness Is always produced by breathing foul
alr-is not this positive evidence that proper
remedies, carefully prepared and judiciously
: administered through the lungs should pro-
duce the happiest results! Daring eighteen
: years practice, many thousands suffering
y from diseases of the lungs and throat, have
been under nay care, and have effected many
remarkable cures, even after the sufferers
have been pronounced in the last stages,
J. which fully satisfies me that consumption Is
e no longer fatal disease. My treatment OF
consumption is original, and founded on long
4 experience and thorough investigation. Mr
= perfect acquaintance with the nature oftuber-
cles, &c, enables me to distinguish, readily.
u the various forms ofdisease that simulate con-
e sumption, and apply the proper remedies, rare
lybelng mISta ken even IN a single case. This
familiarity. IN connection with certain pathO-
,I IOgi ical and microscopic discoveries, enables
II 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
n Medicines with full directions sent to any
part Of the United States and Canadas by pa
tlents communicating their symptoms by let
ter. But the cure would be more CERTAIN II
the patient should pay me visit, which
would give me anopportunity 10 examine the
lungs and enable me to prescribe with much
greater certainty, and then the cure could be
effected without my seeing the patient again
