DIR. HUNTERS LETTERS,
The Prevalence and Importance Of Dis.
of the Organs of 1sespi rat ON and
their Treatment by Mcsuicnted umhaIs-
lion.

To THE EDIroH-Sr: Without doubt diseases
of the organs OF respiration have become the
most prevalent and fatal of all those which af
flict our race. Even here, in the delightful eli
mate of California right in our midst-we find
consumption alarmngly prevalent while ca
tarrh and throat ailments afflict two-thrds of
the people.
| have for many wears devoted special atten-
ton to diseases of the head, throat and chest
and published in several Of the leading Journals
of this country series of Letters upon their ma
turc, and their treatment by INDICATED INHA-
LATION.
| have presented my views to the people
through these mediums, because it is TO the
weekly or daily paper that they look for infor-
nation upon the most interesting and important
subjects of life. The terrible prevalence and
fatality of Consumption and the failure Of all
ordinary methods Of treatment call for more in
formation in the public mind as to its causes
and early symptoms, so that they may prprent
it when threatened or check it in its first stages
II such causes or prcmonitions have been neg
lccted. | have conveyed such information in
these letters in language which can be under
stood by all readers
Nearly thirty years ago my relatives and for
mer associates, DIR. Il. Hunter and DR.. j. J.
Hunter, of New York City, brought medicated
Inhalation prominently to the notice of the pee
pie of the United States. We have built upon
this principle of inhalation system of treat
ment for these diseases which has not only been
extraordinarily successful in our hands, but
which has completely revolutionZcd the treat
ment of the whole profession
In these letters and other publica tons have
fully explained the treatment Of these diseases
by this system of inhalation. Every process Of
reasoning upon the anatomy and physiology Of
the breathing organs, and the causes and nature
of their diseases must arrive at the conclusion
that Wedicdted I0hdidtiOn is the proper remedy
| knO,r ii 10 he sO--in fact the Oniy remedy 10
which the pulmonary invalid can look for relief
or cure I have spent lifetime in the study
and treatment Of these diseases and have seen
more of them than any other physician in this
country. | have thoroughly tested every rem
cdy and remedial means ever proposed or that
human reason could suggest, but have found
them all rs inferior 10 Nedicoted Inhaiotion as
the basest of metals are to pure gold.
So long as the people neglect cntarrh and
bronchitis or place their confidcpcc in the vile
nostrums prepared for them. so long will con-
sumption be the most prevalent disease which
afilicts our race. They are the seeds from which
ii springs. and unless those afflicted with it re-
sort to INHALATION it will continue to ripen into
its harvest of death.
Having removed to California for the benefit
Of its delightful climate and to establish here a
Sanitarinm for my patients, many tho,lsa nds of
whom have sent 10 its shores, l shall repub-
lisl few of these letters in your columns and
! trust they will aid the afflicted TO understand
their true condition.
Respectfully
