Can Consumption be Cured 4?

Can Consumption be Cured I?
In many cases 1t can. LIST. By absorbing
! the tubeTcles. I'd. BY re-establishing the
assimi lative function, building up the gen.
| erat health, arreSting the tuoerculous depo-
SIT, reducing tubsrcles already formed to an
| indolent ssste and, by strict observance of
| the laws OF health, kee pioS them 10 this
condition through life. 3D.. By healing the
cavities after the tubercles have softened,
broken down and been expelled by eXpec.
| toration. 4th. By changing the tubercle 10
| calcareous matter.
| The Treatmept Must re Both Local
| and General.
The local treatment consists in the IgIIA-
LATIoN OF INDICATED yAPoRS, This pro.
cess conveys the medicine directly to the
diseased parts and must commend Itself TO
| the Judgment OF every one as Just 1Uhdt is
necessary in the case 1t Is not mere pallia-
| tive of Consumption, but in many cases
great curative remedy. Knowing this fact
| as w do, II would be criminal not to urge
1t 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 oiniments, lotions,
poultices, congresses, and many other
agents to an inflamed eye, ear, throat and
skin? Why not SO treat the irritable and
4
| the bronchial tubes and air cells IN the
| lungs? Thousands die with Consumption,
| not for want OF muscular strength TO expel
| the matter which Is stranging them, but
because the lungs cannot be inflated below
the mucous plugs which Obsruct the
| bronchial tubes and cells, so as to force out
the offending matter which Is slowly but
| surely sapp!ng the very fountains OF life. A
| we'll chosen indicated vapor in all such
cases would save the patient by dissolving
| utK lat ,,r, 90, 81
membranes to lis expulsion. What can be
more absolutely necessary than that sooth-
1 ing, Alternative, astringent, stimulating or
| anti-htemorrhagic Yapor, as the case may
require, should he Inhaled into the lung
| cavity which Is filled with pus. mucous,
serum and dissolved tn bercle? Alt ply
| steal changes In the bronchial tubes and
lungs resulting from the tuberculous dis
ease are produced by causes which medicat-
ed inhalation at the proper time would al
| most infa!libly remove. How strange that
a treatment at once so simple, natural and
| efficacious should be so neglected.!
| While the local treatment Is going on,
| Constitutional Remedies should always be
| employed. by which the strength OF the pa
| tient Is renewed, the night hweats broken
| up, the dlarrhoea checked, the fever con-
trolled and the general health invigorated.
