IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.
CONSU UMPTION
AND ALL
DISEASES Gs THE LUNGS AND THROAT
ARE POSITIVELY
CVRARkE BY lNEIALATTON.

KETHiCu conveys the remedies to the cayi-
w ties in The lungs through the air passa-
ges, and coming III direct contact with the

toraton, heals the lungs, purifies the blood,

giving that tone and energy so indispensable
for the restoration of health. To be able to
state confidently that Consumption is curable
by inhalatien, is to ME a source of unallOyed
pleasure. Ii is rs much under the control Of
medical treatment rs any other formidable
disease; ninety out of every hundred cases
can be cured III the 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 tie disease as
to bid defiance TO medical skin. Ereny how
ever, il thc last stages, Inhalation affords ex-
traordinary relief 10 the suffering attending
this fearful scourge, which annually destroys
ninety-fve thousand persons in the United
States alone and q correct calculation shows
that IS the present population of the earth,
eighty millions are destined TO FL the Con-
sumptvc's graves.
Truly the culver 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, bat sweeps Off alike the brave,
th: beautiful, the graceful I'D the gifted. BY
lie help Of that Supreme Being from whom
cometh every good and perfect gift, am en-
ahblcd to offer TO the afflicted Il permanent
and speedy cure in Consumption. The first
cause Of tuhercieS is from impure blood, and
the immediate eSfcat prsIuG2Q by their depo-
Sition 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 the cavities
Of the lungs than from those administered
through the stomach the patient Win always
find the lungs free and the breathing easy af-
ter lnhaling remedies. Thus, Inhalation is
local remedy, nevertheless it acts constitution
ally, aud with more power and certaiuty than
remedies administered by the stomach. To
prove the powerful and direct influence of this
this mode of administration, chloroform
inhaled will entirely destroy sensibility in a
few minutes, Parslyzing TIE entire nervous
system, so that IA limb,may be amputated with
out the slightest pain Inhalng the ordinary
burning gas will destroy life III a few hours
The inhalation of ammonia will rouse the
system when faintng or apparently 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
4 conyipcing proofof 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 no longer tata!
disease. My treatment Of consumption is
original, and founded on long experience and
Il thorough investigation. Ny perfect acquain-
tance with the nature Of tubercles, &c, ena-
bles me to distinguish, readily, the various
forms of disease that simulate consumption
and apply the proper remedies, rarely being
mistaken even IN a single case. This 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, parity 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 by pa
ticntS communicating their symptoms by letter
But the cure would be naore 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.
