lTREATMEN T.
| CONSUMPTION On
Can Consumption be Cured ?
In many eases II can. LIST. BY absorbing
the tubercles. I'd. By re-establishtng the
assim,lative function, building up the gen.
eral health, arresting the tuoerculous depo-
sit, reducing tubercles already formed to an
indolent state and, by strict observance OF
the laws Of health, keeping them in 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 tubercie TO
calcareous matter. rr.. ...
The Treatment Must Be Both Local
and General.
The local treatment consists In the ISHA-
LATIoN OF INDICATED yAPoRs. This pro-
diseased parts and must commend itself TO
the Judgment OF every one as just tchut Is
necessary IN the cdSs II is not a mere pallia-
tive OF Consumption, but in many cases a
great curative remedy. Knowing this fact
as we do, II would be criminal not TO urge
It 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
,trNNrf Last
poultices, mpresses, and many other
agents to an infiamed eye, ear, throat and
skin? Why not 80 treat the irritable and
inflamed mucous membranes which line
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 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 to its 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.
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 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 sweats broken
up, the diarrhoea checked the fever con-
troled and the general health invigorated.
