Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1870-04-19

If there Is one class of diseases more
than another which pre-eminently claims
the attention Of medical men, and the
public generally, 1t IS that melancholy
train of diseases popularity known as
Consumption, and all those relating to
the air passages of the head and lungs.
These diseases have become so common,
and have hitherto proved so universally
fatal, that scarcely domestic hearth
can be found that has not lost by them
the dearest one of all" The young, tha
beautiful and the good have alike been its
victims. It spares neither age nor sex,
but extends its raYages to every climate
from the frozen North to the sunny South.
The great majority Of physicians have
been 80 long IN the habit of regarding
these diseases as incurable, that little
else than a mere palliation of symptoms
has been attempted. The remedies have
been administered by the stomach, while
the JeSteriJtg, eOrrOdi1lg lstceTS IN the lungs
have been left to pass through their de-
stTlGctjVs changes HBdiStETbed.
That medical men have failed in the
use of the means hitherto employed Is to
me not 8 matter of surprise, and If the
same theory and principles were to govern
me in the treatment of these dangerous
classes of malsdies that have hitherto di-
rected them, 1, too, should have little

CHRONIC NASAL cATARRH AND ITS FINAL
RESULTS.
Ofall the diseases which afiict human
ity, as well as the most subtle, obscure
and difficult of cure by ordinary medical
practice, is nasal cdtaTTh. Beginning
with symptoms which resemble those of
a cold, it advances stealthily downward
till the most alarming throat diseases,
bronchial affections and lung complaints
are fully developed, or till the senses of
smell, hearing and sight are destroyed,
and the destruction of the bone begins,
and what was first a disease durable in a
few weeks, becomes the affiictiOn of a
lifetime, or terminates in death.
That this diseases is so fatal in its ten
dency, and productive of such unhappy
consequences, none will be surprised to
learn, if he will but reflect that every
breath of air that is inhaled into the sys-
tenn by those suffering from cdtGrTh
must pass over an unhealthy and dis
eased membrane, and the air in passing
over these putrid aud liberated surfaces
must necessarily imbibe the most noxiOus
and deadly properties, and in this man
nor every breath of air taken into the
lungs is converted into poisonous agent
of death. Chronic catarTh, in a very
lNrge proportion of cases, may be re-
garded as the foundation and forming
stage Of PULMONARY CONSUMPTION, and
other diseases affecting the air pas
sages of the lungs. Too much impor-
tance cannot be attached to the early re-
meval of this most disagreeable and dan
gerous disease.
I claim, and am prepared to demon
strate, that under this rational mode Of
practice every disease of the breathing
organs may at certain stages of develop
ment be radically cured by the Pdnc0st
Helo HlOds of treatment which have in
troducad to popular attention. The clos
est Investigation is invited, and the more
careful and thorough the inquiry the
more apparent will be the truth of this
statement-that it Is the only true mode
Of cure.
Doctor Pancost gives his undivided at
tentiOn to the treatment and cure of
throat and lung diseases, and from years
Of experience in this difficult depsftment
of practice, together with the remarkable
success which has attended his He1g mode
of practice, is prepared to guarantee rad
ical cures of cstarrh, asthma, bronchitis
and the earlier stages Of consumption.
