has been engaged as Medical specialist for
the last twenty years, for treating Consump-
ton, Bronchitis, Asthma, Loss of Voice, Nasal
Catarrb, and all other Diseases of the Nose,
Throat and Lungs. He also prescribes for all
other Diseases that are complicated with the
above named; particularly "Female Weak
nesses," for which he has an invaluable RENE
dy His practice has extended to all parts OF
the United States and British Provinces. And
his system of trea tment, it is believed, has been
more successful in curing this formidable class
of human maladies than any other known to
the medical profession or the advanced minds
of the world DR.. Morse's method of admins
tering medicine, for all pulmonary affections,
is through the medium of "Cold Medicated In
halatiop.'' This particular system of admins
tering the remedies cold, or of the natural
temperature of the atmosphere, is original with
him, aud the remedies used by him, are only
known to himself.
BY this practice the remedies are conveyed
directly to the very sent of the disease to be
cured, and does not subject them TO the labli-
ty of undergoing change, which is always the
case with medicines given by the stomach.
The importance of this advantage has never
been sufficiently weighed by physicians. No
truism is better established than that medi-
cines employed for the cure Of diseases act
with far greater certainty when they have
specific tendency to the organ affected, or are
applied directly to it, and no fact is better
known than that the contents Of the stomach
often entirely change the medicines given, rem

active in another. Chemical union between
acid and alkaline substances takes place as
readily in the stomach as in the mortar of the
chemist
g. Inhalation is prompt. Medicines given by
the stomach, when intended to act upon the
lungs, have to make the circuit of the system.
When given by the lungs, on the contrary,
they are brought instantly to the part which
requires the aid. Medicines in the gaseous
state act with far greater promptness than as
solids or fluids. because in the former condi-
ton they are subject to no further change,
while in the latter they must undergo process
of decomposition. A vapor acts with the ra-
pidity of touch. A solid, on the contrary, may
lie in the stomach for hours before any effects
are manifest.
g. Inhalation, is more than any other po,oer-
FIJI treatment, because remedies in the gaseous
state act with q ten-fold greater power than
when the same medicines are given as solids
or fluids. Medicines act with promptness and
of their div:siblity. A fluid is more powerful
than solid, and for the same reason a gas or
vapor is more potent than either. 1t is most
astonishing, says Prof. Carpenter, to witness
the extraordinary increase in potency which
many substances exhibit when brought in rela-
ton with the blood in the gaseous form. This
is easily understood when you consider that
indicated vapors are medicine in their most
delicate and attenuated form the essence, as
it were, separated from all crudity, and subject
to no further changes. AS they are received into
the lungs, SO Go they pass into the system; we
can detect them twenty minutes afterward in
every secretion There is no action which it is
desirable to produce on the lungs themselves,
or on the condition of the bleod which we
cannot produce with ten-fold greater certainty
by inhalation than 10y any other possible form
of administration.
4. Inhalation is not only direct in its applica-
ton, and prompt and powerful in its action,
but is III itself an elegant and delicate process,
free from every objection. There is no patient
so aoeak that he may not employ it without
fatigue, nor any so sensitive TO the unpleasant
ness of swallowing "pils," or powders" or
mixtures as to experience the least discom-
fort from inhaling. No man or woman, how
ever strong minded, takes nauseous drugs
withouta strong effort Of the will 1t is a
revolving necessity.
How often does it happen that he altogether
neglccts his health, from his unwllingness to
swallow medicines which he knows beforehand
will increase his discomforts; could they do
So without present disgust and subsequent in
convenience few men, wa are convinced, would
neglect the Use of the means required for the
preservation of their health
Now Inhalation at ence overcOmes all these
objections, and in all affections of the respira-
tory organs-throat, air passages, or lungs
enables us to produce the most direct, speedy
and powerful effects, without causing the pa
tient the slightest discomfort.
Hundreds of persons have been cuied by the
use of my Inbalations after they were pro.
nOunced incurable. Names of such can be
seen at my office.
