Can Consumption be Cured ?

Can Consumption be Cured l?
In many cases 1t can. LIST. BY absorbing
the tubercles. I'd. By re-establishing the
assim!lativ function, building up the gen.
eral health, arresting the tuberculous depo-
sit, reducing tubercles already formed TO an
incident State and, by strict observance Of
the laws of health, kee ping them in this
cavities after the tubercleS have softened,
broken down and been expelled by eXpec.
toratlon. 4th. By changing the tubercle TO
calcareous matter.
TheTreatmcnt Must BE Both Local
and General.
The local treatment consists in the ISHA-
LATIoN OF INDICATED YAPoR5, This pro-
cess conveys the medicine directly TO the
diseased parts and must commend Itself TO
the judgment of every one as just IChut Is
necessary in the case 1t Is not mere pallia-
tive OF Consumption, but in many cases
great curative remedy. Knowing this TACT
as we do, IL would be criminal not TO urge
II upon those who suffer with this terrible
disease and are last crowding the gates OF
death. What can be more reasonable or
more necessary than TO apply the remedy
to the tuLercle and cavity in the diseased
lung? DO we not apply ointments, lotions,
poultices, congresses, and many other
agents to an inflsmed eye, ear, throat and
skim Why not so treat the irritable and
infiamed mucous membranes which line
the bronchial tubes and air cells in tire
lungs? Thousands die with Consumption,
not Tor want of muscular strength TO eIpel
the matter which is straDgling them, but
because the lungs cannot be inflated below
the mucous plugs which obstruct the
bronchial tubes and cells, so as TO force out
the offending matter which Is slowly but
surely sapping the very fountains OF life. A
well chosen medicated vapor In a.! such
cases would save the patient by dissolving
the mucous and stimulating the expiring
membranes TO lis expulsion. What can be
more ABSOLUTELY necessary than that sooih-
ing, alternative, astringent, stimulating or
anti-hRmorrhagic vapor, as the case may
require, should be inhaled into the lung
cavity which is filled with pus, mucous,
serum and dissolved tUbercle7 AL the 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 infallibly remove. How strange that
treatment at once so sim rle, 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
tent is renewed, the night sweats broken
up, the diarrhoea checked, the fever con-
trolled and the general health inyigorated.
