"MEDICAL COMMON SENSE

MEDICAL COMMON SENSE
In recent number of the Record we an
swered, in sportiye manner, few of the
questions which we found addressed to suf-,
ferers in brief but comprehensive treatise
ON catarrh, bronchitis, asthma and con-
sumption, and the rational, we may say per-
haps the only, principles upon which de-
pend cure. 1t was our purpose to refer
at convenient future time to this valuable
work, its author, and his method of dealing
with diseases which have destroyed mems
lives, and inflicted more misery, death, and
mourning upon the human race than all
other diseases combined. We refer to con-
sumption and it's less noted, but scarcely
less deadly, ancestors, catarrh and catarrh-
al bronchitis Beginning with catarrh, we
have VIGOROUSLY bad tenant in the phys
ical tabernacle, tenant who pays no rent,
and will never vacate without vigorous
and summary process of ejectment; q tenant
which, if allowed 70 remain, leaves to its
worse offspring, bronchitis, its lease of the
premises, and consumption, the final in
heritor and last of deprayed lineage,
mortgages the property of death, who be-
comes the speedy and final owner.
The admirable and strong common sense
book we have referred to is that DR.. N. b.
Wolfe, Of Cincinnati, physician of large
learning and Of twenty-five years practice
in the treatment and cure of consumption
and its kindred diseases. His method Of
| dealing with these complaints is, to our
mind, the only rational and natural mode
of reaching the difficulty, that is, by in
halation.
The reasons assigned by DR.. Wolfe in sup
port of his practice we have given our care
full study, ana they must commend them
selves to others as they do to us--as making
a complete case in favor Of his process. In
brief, the argument is, that a remedial
agent, introduced to the organs affected,
through the direct process of inhaling it, is
many times more efficacious than when sent
on long journey around, by way Of the
stomach, thence through the blood, and
losing on the road most of the medical
properties belonging to-. it. 1t will strike
the reader that ordinary human "gumption"
ought to suggest as the true one, the most
direct route to the diseased organs, which
is precisely the one traversed by inhalation.
Taking medicines into the stomach, to be
freighted into the lungs through long and
devious channels, is like taking circuitous
route to mill with leaky bag of grain, on
horseback; you SOW abundance of wheat
along the highway and reach the mill with
mighty" small grist.
But the world moves on, and some, at
least, of the fallacies are passing away, and
we are happy to note that not only the
road to heaven but to health has been great
ly improved. Time was when men journey
ed to paradise over path strewn with bu-
man sacrifices. That time has passed away.
Time was also, when drugs and posons
were swallowed to cure the respiratory sys-
tenn of deadly ailments. That period is
passing away, and the age of inhalation is
rapidly being enthroned.
The new doctoine --perhaps we should
say ''doctoring"-already has many con-
verts and its pratice is daily increasing.
This is well. AT the same time it brings
into the field class Of experimenters who,
while readily grasping the theory, are as
yet unable to reduce it to correct practice.
Twenty-Five years of constant and success
full practice have taken the eminent phys
lean, DR.. Wolfe, of the list Of experimenters,
and rendered him veteran, as it we're, IN
a comparatively new field. from an ad-
mirably arranged schedule of printed ques-
tons which may be answered by mail, Dr..
Wolfe though located at Cincinnati, is en-
abled to prescribe his inhaling treatment
and send it to all parts of the country by
express, at no greater cost than would be in
CURED in the employment Of local phys
ician for the same period of time. His
book contains hundreds Of testimonials to
the cures he has affected. The address is
