IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.
CONSUMPTION
AND ALL
DISEASES OF THE LUNGS AND THROAT
ARE POSITIVELY
GN2AEEE RY kNEAEATKON.

CU2AELE BE INHALATION,
i uTHICH conveys the remedies to tie cavi-
| w ties in tnelungS through the air passa-
gtst, and c6ming in direct contact with the
disease neutralizeS The tubercuIar matter, al
laws the cough, causes free and easy expec-
toi. ton, heals the lungs, purlfes the blood
/ impartS renewed vitality to the nervous system,
giving that tone and energy so Indispensable
for TIE restoration of health. To be able to
state confidently tliat Consumption is durable
/ by Inhalation, is 70 me q source of unailoycd
pleasure. ID is as Lluch under the control OF
medical tre&tment' as any ether formidable
disease; ninety out Of every hundred cases
can be cured in t.:e Gr5t stages, and fifty per
cent in the second; bat in the third stage il
! is impossible to save more than FIVE per cent,
for the Lungs are so cUt up by the disease as
/ 10 bid defiance to medical skill. Even, how
eyer in tue last stages, Inhalation affords ex-
| traOrdlnary relief to tie suffering attending
/ this fearful sc0urge, which annually destroys
niuety-fivc thousand persons i'll the United
States alone and a correct calculation shows
that OF the present population OF the earth,
eighty millions are destined TO I'll tie Con-
snmptiye's graves.
/ Truly the culver of death has no arrow so
i fatal as Consumption. In all areS it has been
! the great enemy OF life for it spares neither
/ age nor Sex, but sweeps off alike the brave,
/ II. beautiful, the graceful and the gifted. BY
| the help of that Supreme Being from whom
cometh every good and perfect gift, | am en-
ahbled to offer to the afflicted permanent
and speedy cure in Consumption. The first
cause of tUbercles is tTcm impure blood, and
the immediate effect produced by their dePo-
stion in the lungs IS to prevent the free ad-
mission Of air into the air cells, which causes
a weakened vitality through the entire system.
Then surely it is more rational to expect great
er good from medicines entering tire cavities
! of the lungs than from those administered
| through the stomach the patient will awa vs.
| find the lungs free and the breathing easy, aE-
ter mhalinE remedies Thus, Inhalation is a
local remedy, nevertheless it acts constitutions
| ally, and with more power and certainty than
remedies administered by the stomach. To
! prove the powerful and direct influence Of this
tlis mode Of administration, chloroform
! inhaled Will entirely destroy S,nsibility in a
few minutes, paralyzing the entire nervous
SYSTEM so that limb may be amputated with
out the slightest pain; Inhaling the ordinary
/ burning gas will destroy life ina few hours.
| The inhalation of ammonia will rouse the
system when fainting or apparently dead. The
odor of many Of the medicines is perceptible
in the skin few minutes after being inhaled,
ana may he Immediately detected in the blood.
\ convincing proof Of the constitutional effects
CT inhalation, is the fact that sickness IS al
ways produced by breathing foul air-is not
this positive evidence that proper remedies,
carefully prepared AMI jUdicously admins
tered through the lungs sAoEll produce the
happiest results? During eighteen years
a., ~, i. u.
eases of the lungs and throat, have been un-
der my care, and have effected many remark
able cures, even after tie sufferers had been
pronounced in the last stages, which fully sat-
! isfes me that consumption is no longer a fatal
disease. Ny treatment Of consumption is
original, and founded on long experience and
a thorough investigation Ny perfect acquain-
tarce with the nature of tubercles, &c, ena-
bles me to distinguish, readily, the various
forms Of disease that simulate consumption,
ana apply the proper remedies, rarely being
mistaken even in a single case. This flmil-
iarity, in connection with certain pathological
and microscopic discoveries, enables me 10 re-
iieye the lungs from the effects of contracted
chests, to enlarge the chest, purify the blood,
impart to it renewed vitality, giving energy
and tone to the entire system.
Medicines with full directions seut to any
part of the United States and Canadas b. pa
tients communicating their symptoms yletter.
But the cure would be more certain : the
patient should pay me a visit, which would
give me- an opportunity to examine the lungs
and enable mo 70 prescribe with much greater
certainty, and then the cure could be effected
without my seeing the patient again.
