IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.
CONSUMPTION
AND ALL
DISEASES OF THE LUNGS AND THROAT
ARE POSITIVELY
GER kEsE4E ERY INHALATION


NETHICH conveys the remedies to the cayi-
w ties in the lungs through the air passa-
ges, and coming in direct contact with the
disease, neutralizes the tubercuar matter, al
lays the cough, causes free and easy expec-
toration, heals the lungs, purifcs the blood,
impart5 renewed vitality to the nervous system,
giving that tone and energy so indispensable
for the restoration of health. To be able to
state confidently that Consumption is durable
by Inhalation. is to me source of unalloyGd
pleasure. 1t is as much under the control Of
medical treatment as any other formidable
disease ninety out of every hundred cases
can be cured in the first stages, and fifty per
cent. in the second but in the third stage it
is impossible to save more than FIVE per cent,
for the Lungs are so cut up by the disease as
to bid defiance to medical skill. Even how
ever, in the last stages, Inhalation affords ex-
traordinary relief TO the suffering attending
this fearful scourge, which annually destroys
ninety-fve thousand persons in the United
States alone and q correct calculation shows
that Of the present population Of the earth,
eighty millions are destined 20 Eli the Con-
sumptiycs graves.
Truly the quiyer Of death has no arrow so
fatal as Consumption. In all ages it has been
the great enemy of life, for it spares neither
age nor sex, but sweeps off alike the brave,
tlrs 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 IA permanent
and speedy cure in Consumption The first
cause cf tubercles is from impure blood, and
the immediate effect produced by their depo-
sition in the lungs is to prevent the free ad-
mission of air into the air cells, which causes
weakened vitality through the entire system.
Then surely il is more rational 10 expect great
er good from medicines entering the cavities
Of the lungs than from those administered
through the stomach; the patient will always
find the lungs free and the breathing easy, af-
ter Inhaling remedies. Thus, Inhalation is q
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
this mode of dminis tratiGn, ckloroform
inhaled will entirely destroy scnsibility in a
few minutes, paralyzing the entire nervous
system, so that a limb may be amputated with
out the slightest pain; Inhaling the ordinary
burning gas viii destroy life III few hours
The inhalation of ammonia viii rouse the
system when fainting or orapparently dead. The
odor Of many of the medicines is perceptible
in the skin few minutes after being inhaled
and may be Immediately detected in the blood
\ convincing proof of the constitutional effects
of inhalation, is the fact that sickness is al
ways produced by breathing foul air-is not
this positive evidence that proper remedies,
carefully prepared and judiciously admins
tered through the lungs should produce the
happiest results? During eighteen years
practice, many thousands suffering from dis
eases Of the lungs and throat, have been un-
der my care, and have effected many remark
able cures, even after the sufferers had been
pronounced in the last stages, which fully sat
isles me that consumption is 70 longer a fatal
disease. My treatment of consumption is
original, and founded OIL long experience and
thorough investigation My perfect acquain-
tance with the nature Of tubercles, &C., cna-
bles me to distinguish, readily, the various
forms Of disease that simulate consumption.
and apply the proper remedies, rarely being
mistaken even in q single case 4his famil-
iarity, in connection with certain pathological
and microscopic discoveries, enables me to re-
lieye 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 anv
part Of the United States and Canadas by pa
tients communicating their symptoms byletter.
But the cure would be more certain if the
patient should pay me a visit, which would
give me an opportunity to examine the lungs
and enable mo to prescribe with much greater
certainty, and then the cure could be effected
without my seeing the patient again.
