The readers of the Tribune have long beer
familiar with the writings of DIR. Hunter. o.
this city. His theories in regard to the prop
er treatment Of throat and lung diseases have
been widely discussed. He has devoted his
lie to the development and perfection of the
? direct application Of remedies to the air pas.
saRes and lungs by inhalation.
IN view OF the claims put forth in favor oil
this treatment and the great prevalence OF
these d;seases in our climate, the matter was
wen worth investigating. A Tribune reporter
was commissioned to examine the proofs. His
Investigation resulted as follows:
In the first place, he was permitted to ex.
anime the correspondence OF patients, repre-
senting every degree OF social standing, and
from widely different parts OF the Eastern.
Western and Southern States.
The letters agreed in the one main point. the
success which had attended the treatment, by
inhalation. Many OF the letters referred to
me successful treatment OF three or four dif-
lerenS persons,-cases Of catarrh Of long
standing efiectually removed, the progress Of
consumption arrested, and in many instances
gratitude expressed for lives saved. Some
OF Inc letters were from medical men who
had consulted the Doctor in cases they con.
sldered desperate. The reporter then asked
for cases successfully treated in Chicago, aud
the following, visiting them in person:
The first one visited was the keeper of one
OF the Oldest and best. known restaurants in
the city. The proprietor himself was en-.
gage5: His son, however, said that his faith.
er had suffered terribly from bleeding OF the
lunge. His feet were swollen and he could
scarcely breathe: Treatment by inhalation
Was being rapidly restored
The second person visited was the President
OF the Board of Grain and Provision Brokers.
This gentlem an, surprised by the reporter In
the very midst of his duties as presiding of.
hcer, expressed great willingness to add his
testimony in favor OF treatment, that. under
Dr. Hunters care, had cured him of a severe
case OF bronchitis and chronic catarrh years
ago. he had never had any serious trouble
from it since.
The third patient visited was prominent
merchant. He told the reporter that his
sister-in-law was rapidly sinking from the
formation of tubercles in the lungs. Inhala-
ton had arrested and driedup these tubercies,
ana they became perfectly hard. She had
looking like particles of lime. his sister.in-
law had only weighed III pounds Since the
treatment she weighs over 40 pounds. and
enjoys perfect health"
The fourth patient visited was prominent
newspaper man. BE confessed that he SUIT
fered so terribly from catarrh that for two
years he could only breathe through one

halation his health has been completely re-.
stored, and he Is able to give all his time and
attention to his business.
But the most valuable testimony of all was
given by the fifth patient visited, The senior
partner OF one OF the best known and esteemed
law firms IN this city. He has known the
Doctor for twenty years, when the latter
cured him OF severe attack Of bronchitis.
Some seven years ago he was retained In a
law case that caused some sensation at the
time. The windows lin the old Court House
admitted draught that brought on an attack
Of what was called pleuro pneumonia. In.
halation, he AYERS, saved his life. Before he
placed himself under inhalation treatment
his friends and physicians believed him to be
doomed man. A large abscess formed in
his lung, and discharged great Quantities of
pus, which was coughed up and elected bv
the mouth. This gentleman recovered and
continues to enjoy perfect health, but when.
ever cold troubles him he says he loses no
time in seeking relief where he has ALWAYS

The sixth patient, German merchant liy
lhg on the North Side, told the came story.
A terrible case Of chronic catarrh. where tie
Inflammation had invaded the chest. and
affected the lungs was cured, six years ago. tv
inhalation, and has remained cured since.
These testimonies, coming from such very
olfferent sources, yet agreeing In every par
ticular, are we'll worth considering. We sub.

their own conclusions. The true ten, Of
