attested by such overwhelming accumulation
of testimony. We say to the consumptive invalid,
and Others who have reason to dread the approach
OF this disease, Inhalation is your only ground
OF hope. Change of climate cannot save you, uei-
ther will drugs administered through the stomach
avail anything, when the deposition of tubercles
in the lungs has once taken place. repeat it, it
is only by the direct application of the remedy
through the channel of the lungs themselves that
hope to conquer the fatality of this terrible
disease. And while the remedies exert a direct
and powerful influence over the diseased action
in the lungs, they at all times safe, pleasant and
agreeable. Another advantage is that the patient
has usually not long TO wait for improvement in
his symptoms. lie experiences relief from the short
OF breathing the cough is diminished the pains
in the chest subsde eXpectoratiOn is gradually les
sened III quantity and improved in quality, and the
dark-winged tiend who has for months lowered over
his promised victim, is driven far away, and the
fountains and streams Of life, hope and enjoyment
opened in renewed freshness, purity and vigor.
will simply add, in conclusion that it has been my
privilege during few years past, in a large city and
country practice, to have IN charge several thousand
cases OF Consumption Bronchitis, Asthma, and Ca
tarTh, and hazard nothing in saving that the treat
ment has been attended with degree of success
hitherto unknown in any other form or mode of
practice. These facts, permit to say, capable
of the most successful demonstration, all east
ly satisfy themselves who will take the pains to call
on me at my Office.
For the information of those who are not already
familiar with my mode of treatment, and from the
impOssiblity of explaining in private correspondence
all that might be desirable to those who wish to con-
the following explanation ofthe treatment by Iniala-
tion, as practiced by in all chronic diseases of
the lungs and throat, commonly known as Bronchit-
Is, Consumption, Asthma, and Catarrh-
| /. We discard, as worse than useless, the PERM
cious practice OF drugging the stomach. We claim
that while it eXerts beneficial salutary effect
upon the diseased lungs, all past experience has
shown us, it only serve to impair snd weaken
the digestive organs and too frequently hasten IA
tai termination OF the disease.
z. We recommend the use of the most generous
and nourishng diet selected with view to its great
the open air either by riding or walking with view
to increase the power and expansion OF the lungs.
.. While we claim that Inhalation is the only
means by which diseases of the lungs can be cured,
we regard as the use of remedies administered
by the stomach in other affections such as derange-
ment of the bowels orpdity of the liver suppress
sion OF the accustomed secretons of the first impor-
lance, and not at all incompatible with Inhalation.
4. Iauents wishing to consult me who reside at a
distance and not able to visit the city are inform
ed that they can be treated by giving minute state
ment OF their case in writing, and the appropriate
remedies with inhaler and all necessary directions
can he sent to them by express. But when they can
WISH me and submit to personal and thorough eX-
amnahon OF the lungs, need scarcely say, it is al
ways better to do So
My Office is daily open for the examination ana
treatment of all diseases of the lungs throat and
