complaints have been strengthened at every STEP
Its perfect safety, nationality and success have be-
come 30 apparent throughout the country that the
public are no longer satisfied with the old routine OF
dosing the stomach with nauseous drugs and tortur-
ing the poor sufferer with croton OIL blisters and al
manner ofirritants upon the surface of the chest
This course 1t is needless to say it is not only cruel
but fatal in its results as all past experience has am
ply proved. Every days observation confirms the
belief that medicines taken into the stomach, far
from exerting any curative action upon tho Lungs,
they only serve to weaken the functions Of digestion
and lower the vital powers, which the already ex-
hausted and enfeebled condition OF the system can
poorly afford to bear. II we would be successful In
our treatment Of Consumption and other pulmonary
complaints, the enemy should be attacked In his
stronghold. The disease must be treated through
the lungs and not the stomach Itcertainly requires
no argument to convince any that remedy, when
applied directly to the part affected, in the lungs
must be moro efcaciOus and certainly curative than
when applied to the stomach. where disease exists
In the practice of medicated Inhalatons the lungs
not only receive daily indications, but the air pas
sages are rendered free and pervous to the air. and
thus the respraions daily become deeper and fuller
and the quantity Of airinspred is proportionaly in
creased The result is that the lungs more re-
gain their former capacity and power, and the great
est amount OF comfort and relief sure to follox.
This Is subject which Ia at the present time excit-
ing almost universal attention. and as rational and

unquestionably first and foremost among the discov-
cries in medicine OF the present century.

FAMILY READNG.-That increas-
inc intelligence and morality are
lenctb.ning the average duration of
human life cannot be disputed; it was
twenty wears two centuries ago; it is
now over forty in civilized societies.
II ia inst n, true that increasing inteDi-
osrce and a decrease in the moral or
RELIGIOUS element will rapidly abridge
tbe life of individuals, communities,
and nations. Intelligence insures pros
perity, pocuniary thrift, but unless
there is also a corresponding increase
in the religious sentiment, OF high
moral principle, imposing restraints al d
the requisite facilities of indulGences
which wealth offers, individuals Will
die, communities will decrease and ma
t;ons will become extinct, from their
very highest points OF attained gran,
deur, ofart and grace, of power and
domain, and hosrds Of wealth. Egypt
and Babylon and Greece and Rome,
pagan in principle and practice, went
rapidly down to The depths Of human
depravity and degradation.
Leaving it to the public to take care
of the moral culture, occasion is here
taken to suggest that it is of growing
importance that every family claiming
in the least to be cultivated, should
not only take one good religious week
ly publication and respectable newspa'
per, but also some scientific journal
which in its teachings will certainl!
elevate and refine, because it addresses
the reflective faculties, and whateve
makes a man think raises him upward
to higher nature. Whatever make
the youngest child think, whatcve
tends to cultivate thinking for them
selves in any household, goes far f
make of that household in a very fe'
years men and women Of which An
community may be proud,
