The local treatment consists In the IIHA-
LATIoS OF MEDICAYHD VAPORS, This pro-
cess conveys the medicine directly to the
diseased parts and must commend itself TO
the judgment of every one as Just lChGt is
ncceSsd,y in the case Its not a mere pallia-
tive OF Consumption, but in many cases
great curative remedy. Knowing this fact
as We do, 1t would be criminal not to urge
1t 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 tut circle and cavity in the diseased
lung? Do we not apply ointments, lotions,
pOultices, congresses, ard many other
agents to an infiamed eye, ear, throat and
skin? Why not so treat the irritable and
infiamed mucous membranes which line
the bronchial tables and air cells in the
lungsY Thousands die with Consumption,
not for want OF muscular strength TO 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
we'll chosen medicated vapor in all such
cases would save the patient by dissolving
the mucous and stimulating the expiring
membranes 10 lis expulsion. What can be
more absolutely necessary than that sooth-
ing, Alternative, astringent, stimulating or
anti-hmmorrhagic vapor, as the case may
require, should be inhaled into the lung
cavity which is filled with pus, mucous,
serum and dissolved tubercle? AL the ply
steal changes in the bronchial tubes and
lungs, resulting from the tuborculous dis
ease are produced by causes which medicat-
ed inhalation at the proper time would al
most 1nfallibly remove. How strange that
treatment at once so simple, natural and
ef1icacious 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 d!arThoea checked, the fever con-
trolled and the general health inY!gorated.
