Can Consumption be Cured =?
In many cases 1t can. lst. By absorbing
the tubercleS. I'd. BY re-establiShing the
assim.lative function, building up the gen.
eral health, arreSting the tuberculous depo-
sit, reducing tuDercles already formed 10 an
indolent S late ana, by strict observance Of
the laws Of health, ket ping them in this
condition through life. 81. BY healing the
cavities after the tubercleS have sOftened,
broken down and been expelled by eXpec.
toration. 4th. By changing the tubefcie 10
calcareous matter.
The Treatment Must Be Both Local
aRu General.
The local treatment consists in the INHA-
LATIoN OF INDICATED vAPoR5. This pro-
cess conveys the medicine directly TO the
diseased parts and must commend Itself TO
the judgment OF every one as Just 1ChGt is
necessary in the case II is not a mere pallla-
tive OF Consumption, but in many cases a
great curative remedy. Knowing this fact
as we do, ii would be criminal not to urge
Ii upon those who suffer with this terrible
disease and are fast crOwding the gates OF
Death. What can be more reasonable or
more necessary than to apply the remedy
to the tutercle and cavity in the diseased
lung? DO We not apply ointments, lotions,
poultices, congresses, and many other
SCENTS to an inflamed eye, ear, throat and
skin? Why not so treat The irritable and
intiamed mucous membranes which line
the bronchial tubes and air cells in the
lungs? Thousands die with Consumption,
not for want or muscular strength to expel
the matter which is stranging them, but
because the lungs cannot be inflated below
the mucous plugs which obStruct the
bronchial tubes and cells, so as 10 force out
the offending matter which is slowly but
surely sapping the very fountains OF life. A
well chosen indicated vapor in all such
cases would save the patient by dissolvinG
the mucous and stimulating the expiring
membranes TO its expulsion. What can be
more absolutely necessary than that sooth-
ing, Alternative, astringent, stimulating or
anti-heemoTrhagio yapOr, as the case may
require, should be inhaled into the lung
cavity which is filed with pus, mucous,
serum and dissolved IL bercle? All the ply
steal charges in the bronchial tubes and
lungs, resulting from the tuterculous dis
ease are produced by causes which medicat-
ed inhalation at the proper time would a.
most infallibly remove. How strange that
a treatment at once so simple, natural and
eticacious should be so neglected.
