TR1ATM FL N II
CONSUMPTI

Can Consumption be Cured ?
In many cases II can. LIST. By absorbing
| the tubeTcles. I'd. By re-establishtng the
assim!lative function, building up the gen.
eral health, arresting the tuoerculous depo-
| sit, reducing tubercles already formed 10 an
| indolent state and, by strict observance OF
the laws Of health, keeping them in this
condition through life. Sd, By healing the
cavities after the tuoercles have soiteneo'
| toration. 4th. By changing the tubercle 10
| calcareous matter.
| The Treatment Must BE Both Local
and General. .a.
| The local treatment consists In the INHA-
| LATToy OF INDICATED vAPoRs, This pro-
cess conveys the medicine directly 10 The
| diseased parts and must commend Itself 10
the Judgment Of every one as Just phat Is
necessary in the case II is not mere pallia-
| tive OF Consumption, but in many cases
great curative remedy. knowing this fact
| as we do, IL 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 10 apply the remedy
to the tutercIe and cavity in the diseased
| lung? DO we not apply ointments, lotions,
| poulticeS, congresses, and many other
| agents TO an infamed eye, ear, throat and
infiamed mucous membranes which line
the bronchial tubes and air cells in the
| lungs? Thousands die with Consumption,
| not for want OF muscular strength 10 expel
| 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 TO force out
| the offending matter which Is slowly but
surely sapping the very fountains OF life. A
| well chosen medicated vapor In all such
cases would save the patient by dissolying
the mucous and stimulating the expiring
| membranes to its expulsion. What can be
more absolutely necessary than that sooth-
| ing, Alternative, astTiDgent, stimulating or
Ianti-hwmorrhagic vapor, as the case may
require, should he inhaled into the lung
cavity which is filed with pus, mucous,
serum ana dissolved tubercle? All the ply
steal changes in the bronchial tubes and
lungs, resulting from the tuberculods 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 simple natural and
eflicaclous 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 sweats broken
up, the diarrhOea checked, the fever con-
trOlled and the general health invigorated.
