Can Consumption be Cured L?

Can Consumption be Cured :?
In many cases 1t can. LIST. BY absorbing
the tubercles. I'd. By re-establishing the
sssim.lative function, building up the gen.
eral health, arresting the tubcrculOuS depO-
sit, reducing tubercles already formed To an
indolent State and, by a strict observance Of
condition through life. Sd. By healing the
cavities after the tubercles have soitened,
broken down and been expelled by expec.
toration. 4th. By changing the tuberCle TO
calcareous matter.
The Treatment Must BE Both Local
and General.
The local treatment consists in the INHA-
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 lrhlt Is
necessary in the case 1t is not mere pallia-
tive Of Consumption, but in many cases
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 tubercle and cavity in the diseased
lung? Do we not apply ointments, lotions,
poultices, congresses, and many other
agents to an infiamed eye, ear, throat and
skin? Why not so treat the irritable and
inflamed mucous membranes which line
the bronchial tubes and air cells in tie
lungs? Thousands die with Consumption,
not for want OF muscular strength to eGpcl
the matter which is strangling 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 lie. a
well chosen medicated vapor in all such
cases would save the patient by d!s7OivIng
the mucous and stimulating the expiring
membranes TO lis expulsion. What can be
more Absolutely necessary than that sOOth-
ing, alternative, astringent, stimulating or
anti-hRmorrhagic vapor, as the case may
require, should be inhaled into the lung
cavity which is filed with pUs, mucous
serum and dissolved tUbercle? All the ply
steal changes in the bronchial tubes and
lungs, resulting from the tuberculous dis
ease are produced by causes which medicat-
most infallibly remove. How strange that
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
up, the diarrhoea checked, the fever con-
trolled and the general health inyigorated.
