INHALATION
IN CONSU NJ PTI0N

I u RONCBlTlS Laryngytis, and other diseas
Dies of the Chest and I hroat successfully treat
ed BY the Inhalation Of Medicated yapors and
Powders by absorption and constitutional treat
ment, as practseG at the "Stuyyesant Medical
Institute" New ork city.
The unprecedented success which has attended
this method of treating diseases, of the Lungs
and Throat, has induced US TO part from our u
sua course in order TO bring it to the knowledge
Of such as may be laboring under or predispos'
ed tG such affections.
! The dawn Of brighter day has at length ar
rived for the cOnsumplive. The doctrine OF
the incurability of Consumption has at length
passed away. We have indubitable proofs in
our possession, that Consumption in all IFS sta
ges can be cured; IN the first, by tuberculGr ab'
sorpfion in the second by Transformation Of to-
bercule into chalky and caicareouS eoncretions in
the third, by cicdtriees or scars Those welded
TO the past may assert that even now CoDsump-
ton is incurable; such are behind the age. To
all this, great truth must be apparent, viz
Po,oder directly into the Lungs must be more ef.
fectual than that taken iuto the stomach, where
the disease does not exist.
! The advantage of Inhalation in Consumption
and Throat Diseases is, the stomach is thus left
free 10 aid in restoring by, administering TO II
healthy life-giying food. There is no case SO
hopeless that inhalation uiH not reach: The
means, too, are brought within reach of all, the
manner of administering the vapors being SO
simple that the invalid is never required to
leave home, where the hand of friendship and
affection tends so much to aid the physicians
efforts.
The Inhalating method is soothing safe ana
speedu and consists in the administration of med
icines in such manner that they are conveyed
into the lungs in the form of Vapor and produce
their action at the seat of the disease Its prac'
tical success is destined to revolutionize the
opinions Of the medical world and establish tn
entire cGrabslity Of Consumption.
! earnestly appeal TO the common sense O
all afflicted with lung diseases, TO embrace
once the advantage of lnhalatian; and no Ion
ger apply medicines to the unofendng stomach
