eased surfaces IN the lungs, that are obtained by
washes and healing ontncnts upon external sur
| faces of the body. And by unloading the lungs
of the mucus which obstructs them. the breathing
at once becomes more natural, the chest feels light
and the patient experiences the greatest amount
| of comfort and relief. The distractions being
| removed, the air is once more permitted to enter
the collapsed portion of the lungs, they regain
their former capacity, and the increased amount
of air received into the lungs acts upon the
| blood, causing the rudy glow of health to
return to the cheek and the eve TO sparkle with its
wonted lustre and intelligence. On this improved
| condition of the blood follows an improved appe-
tite, on that, improved nutrition, and on improved
nutrition, increase of bodily vigor, flesh and
strength with subsistence of hectic fever and night
sweas. 10 furnish the lungs with fresh supplies of
| oxygen and the stomach with nourishing food,
doubt not, will do to invigorate the system and
restore its lost functions than all the boasted miner
al and vegetable TONES in the land. have so fire.
quenty seen the advantages of this method of prac-
tce in the OF pulmonary affections, that could
wish for the sake OF humanity that it universal

| throughout the haDitabe globe.
But inhalation. to be successful, must be commence
ed early and persevered in long the last yesge
of the disease remains Many think because the
of consumption is possible, it ought TO take place
with incredible rapidity that they should begin to
feel that they are getting well almost from the very
| day Of commencing treatment. The patient should
bear in mimi thai chronic diseases of long standing
cannot be broken up in this summary manner. The
removal of tuberculous matter from the lungs by
absorption, the healing of excavation abcess,
and, i'll short an entire change of the system, affect
ing the whole mass of the blood, cannot be brought
about IN few days or weeks; but it is rather the
work of months
1t is well known that there are many influences
which often serve to prevent consumptiyes from APP
plying to the proper source of relief until it is too
late to them. 1t is always difficult task to tell
the family physician, who has been the medical ad-
wiser i'll the family for many years, and who per-
haps, has carried the patient through many violent
il not dangerous attacks of disease, that he has res
solved TO seek other advice. But when life and
health are concerned, feelings of this character
should never enter into the account Heaven forbid
that any should sacrifice reasonable prospect
n n Oft
ment which, at best, scarcely promise tempor-
airy paliaton of symptoms, much less radical cure
Let the cOnsumptiye be warned then, as he values
life, not to tarry nor delay for a moment: but at
once seek and apply the proper remedy.
Remember that ii is only i'll the earlier or lncpient
stages of the disease, when the tubercles are begin
ming to be formed in the lungs, and before ulcera-
ton has taken place, that hold out any GER
tain hopes OF success Though the earlier stages of
the disease as has been remarked should ALWAYS be
regarded as the most favorable time for treatment
yet have not unfrequently known persons to re-
cover when portions of the lung have actually been
broken down and cavities formed But generally
speaking, we must consider all that have
reached this advanced stage rather palliative than
curative knowing then, as do from daily OBJ
seryaton and extensive experience the inestimable
advantages and superior claims of inhalation over
every other system in diseases of the respiratory
gans cannot too strongly urge upon all suf-
fering from, or threatened with, any of these
complaints, the importance of MAKING an ear
ly application of this simple and effcacious
mode of treatment. Thousands in New England
are at this moment suffering from Chronic Catarrh
ton, who might readily be cured and placed out of
danger by the ofremedies administered by nhal-
alton; but i'll the neglect of which will surely fill
conSumplve's grave at no very distant period 1t is
truly painful to witness the careessness and ndier-
ence patients frequently manifest about themselves
| in the commencement of these affections They are
slow TO believe that there is any danger, long
they can walk about with toerable ease and perform
their ordinary routine of business; they fatter them
selves that all is going well when, in reality, the
disease is day after day sinking its deadly fangs
deeper and deeper into the most vital part of tile
body. The treatment by inhalation is at all times
SAFE, ana unattended with the least unpleaSantness
ornconYenience. The process ofinhaing is as easy
and simple as the act of breathing itself Conse-
| quently the most feeble and delicate NAV avail
| themselves ofits benefits
In conclusion, have only to say to the consump.
tive invalid, whose doom has already been pronounc.
ed by his family physician and friends that there yet
is hope Do not despair, then, as long these di-
rect and simple means have not been fairly and faith
FULLY tried inhalation, repeat it with confidence
ana fullest assurance is your only ground of hope.
It'll the only certain and efectua means science and
humanity have to offer for the removal of this much
dreaded disease that has rendered desolae so many
practice, have employed this treatment in many
hundreds OF cases, from simple catarrh in the head
| TO Dronchtls, asthma, and consumption, with the
most gratifying and cheering results.
