To the Editor oftte Spy
In answer to the numerous inquiries daily made as
to the success of my peculiar mcde of practice in
the treatment of consumption and kindred diseases
have the pleasure to introduce to your readers the
following extracts of letters and reports of cases
These combined testimonials trust will satisfy the
most skeptical, and if they do not awaken in the
public mind profound sense of the cruelty and
mockery of treating diseases of the lungs by admin
istering medicines into the stomach know not
what will.
CASE 1. CHRONIC BRONCHITIS
Extract Of a Letter from Rec. Wan. NJ. TRayer.
For several years the writer has been troubled
with bronchial difficulty, which at tirles appeared
almost like consumption. No medical aid seemed
to avail much until applied to DR.. Dilenback and
began to use inhalation, Much of the time for two
years had a cough, sometimes exceedingly trouble
some, the throat Icing nearly all the time covered
with little ulcers. The catarrh, with which / had
been troubled several years. aggravated the bronchi
al irritation SO that my became rather alarm
ing. soon began to mend, however under Dr.
Dillenback's treatment. The first benefit received
was removal of my cough; then followed a dis.
appearance of the ulcers and the catarrl, both of
which had resisted all previous treatment | am ac-
quainted with several persons who have been under
Dr. DPS care, and the results in most of the cases
have been even more encouraging. In the case of
one of my parishoners the was wonderful and
was accomplished i'll five weeks, l have written the
foregoing to inspire hope in the breasts of consump-
long before the skiing of terrorsn has summoned
them away. The success which has attended inhal-
alton proves that theT case is not hopeless
