CONSUMPTION CURED
BY
DRS. R. & ]. HUNTER, OfNeW York.

duction of Medicated Inhalation into this
country, by Drs. R. s. j. Hunter, numer-
GUS cases of recovery have been recorded.
And since Consumption and its kindred
diseases prevail to an alarming extent IN
this climate, our readers will hail with joy,
any system of practice or remedial MEANS
by which a rational hope of cure is held
out. The following statement, taken from
the Rochester IN. " Union, showing the
gratifying results of local treatment, will
doubtless be read with absorbing interest:
To the Editor of the Union:
About two years since, l noticed that L
became fatigued sooner than formerly, the
| slightest exertion rendering me almost COM
pletelv out of breath. Shortly after this, l
observed a slight hacking cough, gradually
stealing upon me; but as it annoyed me only
| for a short time mornings and evenings
it did not attract my serious attention

prescribed. His remedies gave me tent
porary relief, but in u few months 1t be
came only too apparent that L was rap,
idly failing, and 1 could deceive myseil
no longer. At this time I had chills, fever

had now become very much reduceu
in health and strength.-and as each sue
ceeding dav showed but an a~ggravatloh OF
all my symptoms, the physician, whom l
pressed for an honest and cAndld state
ment of my case, confessed THAI l was IN
theI asst stage of consumption, WITHOUT the
remotest chance of recovery-I was pc
yond the reach of medicine, and in a few
months, at farthest, must die" l am OF q
hopeful nature, and even this P%ositire sem
tence did not entirely discourage me. L
struggled on between life and death,
grasping at everything il the shape 81
hope, that was held out to me. l applied
to many of our most eminent physicians
throughout the States, and was treated by
several of them-all of whom pronounced
me in the third stage of consumption, and
none gave me any encouragement.
took Cod Liver Oil, drank cough mix
lures and syrups of every description, but
all to no purpose. 1 gradually grew worse
and in October last, when nearly the last
t ray of hope had left me, l read some of the
letters Of DR.. Hunter on Consumption,
and being impressed with their nationality,
determined to take another and last trial.
1t seemed almost impossible that l could

that a material improvement had Deen Ell

have disappeared, and now, thanks to the
Almighty, 1 can truly say, that l am once
more a "perfectly sound man.
Thousands are dying Of Bronchitis ano

New York, every year-and yet of all thu
physicians we have among US, only i've
or three make these diseases a specially

that recommends itself to the common
sense of every thinking individual-ant
the only one, in MY estimation, by whlci
these diseases can be reached and cured
And that consumption can be cured, ever
in the third stage-after the lungs haV'
liberated and broken down, is to me III
longer a matter of doubt. 1t has 6eeI
demonstrated to my satisfaction-,as ther'
is no question but L was in the last stag
of the disease-and I fceTmorally certain
that 1 shonld not be a living man Io-u"!
